A Romance on Three Legs: Glenn Gould's Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Piano by Katie HafnerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wonderful book. The consideration of Glenn Gould is, itself, delightful and highly readable. But the "biographical" look at a particular Steinway piano is a fascinating and artful way to approach this material. The book is, in all fairness, a good biography-- or at least a memoir-- of both (or all three, considering the attention given to the primary technician behind the grand). Highly recommended.
