Two items of juvenilia marking Gould’s swan song. This album, made in RCA’s Studio A in New York on 3 September 1982, is Gould’s final recording on the piano. Three-and-a-half weeks later, on 27 September, he suffered a stroke and was taken to Toronto General Hospital, where he died on 4 October 1982 at 11:30 in the morning.
