This next year we will be focusing on one major concert pianist each month. This month is Glenn Gould
Check out his website (he has passed away, but this is an official website for him): http://www.glenngould.com/us/home

Question: What do you observe about this video? Do you hear him humming at all?
I do hear his humming. He is incredibly close to the keys and arches his back significant. Which is something I've never seen before. He almost dances at the piano. He is probably the most expressive (in a face/body/music) of anyone I have ever seen.
