Also just noticed a weird piano warble on Two and Three Part Inventions which sounds like maybe it's coming from the piano itself?

Re the 2 and 3 part inventions, that was explained in the liners to the Sony Glenn Gould Edition version (from the series with the butt ugly white covers). That particular piano had taken a hit of some sort and after being repaired had a weird double-strike problem on certain of its hammers. Gould recorded that album with it anyway, professing to sort of like the effect (I can't say I agree)

Idk about pitch stability on the English suites, I'll try to have a listen. Seems weird for tapes of that vintage to have that problem!

"for ten bars he did absolutely nothing except cover up in the most delinquent way with scales and arpeggios precisely those rather inane chords"

glenn gould and cecil taylor were so nearly the same age: in a better world they'd have been on TV robustly debating gg's over-simplified line here on improvisation as largely a happy-go-lucky art of the moment
but still this is v good on the battle between the explosive mischief of invention & the productive self-denial of structure

(or maybe sonny rollins if you can't imagine cecil's mischief-making letting up long enough to allow a gouldian dialectics through)
