He began composing at the tender age of five and by thirteen had played with the Toronto Symphony. He had a strong career as a concert performer but relinquished that in 1964 preferring to record and edit his own music in a studio.

Rare Letter Signed by Pianist Glenn Gould
Glenn Gould typed letter signed, a rare missive by the celebrated Canadian pianist. Dated 20 July 1976 on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation letterhead, Gould writes to Patricia Wardrop of the Ontario Arts Council, in part, ”…you would like some details on my activities as a radio producer and I enclose herewith a list of major productions [list included] beginning with the several version of ‘The Idea of North’. Needless to say, this list does not include programs for which I have served in other capacities…and I have also chosen to exclude such relatively informal ‘conversational-series’ as the 10-week ‘Music of Arnold Schonberg’ (1974) or a 21-week glorified discography entitled ‘The Art of Glenn Gould’ (1969). It seemed to me that only programs which, in some way, attempted an assault on conventional radiophonic barriers deserved to be represented and I hope you will agree with the relative exclusivity of this approach…[signed] Glenn Gould”. Letter is accompanied by a copy of the letter draft handwritten by Gould. Letter measures 8.5” x 11”, stapled at top left to the referenced list. Folds and light creasing, overall near fine condition. Sold for $1,031.
Lovely lot by American composer Cole Porter. Includes an autograph manuscript quotation signed of ”Night and Day” where Porter draws a stanza in bass clef under which he writes, ”Night + day, you are the one!” Porter also signs a matte photo portrait of himself, ”Sincerely / Cole Porter”. Porter wrote ”Night and Day” for the stage production of the musical ”Gay Divorce” starring Fred Astaire, and it gained widespread popularity with its inclusion in the film version. Some of the most acclaimed musicians in the world have covered the jazz standard, including Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, U2, Ringo Starr, Etta James, and many more. Lore surrounds Porter’s inspiration for writing the atypically-structured piece, with one legend holding that he was moved by the Islamic prayer ritual in Morocco. Lot includes original envelope, from the Waldorf-Astoria in New York to a Miss Suzanna Lovett. Envelope is postmarked New York, 6 January 1953. Photo measures 2.75” x 3.75” and AMQS measures 3.5” x 2.5”. Discoloration from tape residue to the top of each, else fine condition. Sold for $2,772.
