Glenn Gould's piano sound is unforgettable. But his sunken bench and plucking fingertips made it possible, and made it painful.

In this lesson segment, Robert Durso of the Golandsky Institute joins Ben Laude to show why Gould's posture created tension, and how Dorothy Taubman's principles offer a healthier path.

That bright, articulate sound Gould chased? It doesn't actually require Gould's painful posture, and Durso shows you exactly where they part ways.
