520 1 $a"In this story, Katie Hafner introduces us to important figures in the pianist Glenn Gould's life, including Verne Edquist, the nearly blind, long-suffering tuner who maintained the piano for years. She offers a fascinating history of the science and art of tuning, and takes us inside the Steinway factory during the Second World War, when CD 318 was built. Laced with incidents that are variously inspiring, moving, and absurd, Gould's story, Hafner reminds us, is not only about genius and obsession but about iron, wood, and the craftsmanship that enabled his art to flourish."--BOOK JACKET.
