He became best known for his interpretation of Bach's Goldberg Variations. But Glenn grew to dislike concerts -- the hall was too cold, or he didn't feel well, or the audience made too much noise (he didn't even like their applause!). He discovered that when he played and recorded music in an empty concert hall, he could make it sound exactly the way he wanted. He could do what he loved best, while being completely himself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSarah Ellis's beautifully written portrait of Glenn Gould is complemented by Nancy Vo's gorgeous illustrations, bringing the life and times of this extraordinarily talented musician to readers young and old.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIncludes a fascinating author's note and resources for further information.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eadditional information\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eafterword\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eauthor's note\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ebibliography\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ebiographical information\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ebiographical note\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eexplanation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003efacts\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003efurther information\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003efurther reading\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ehistorical context\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eillustrations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003einformational note\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ephotographs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003esources\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003evignettes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ewriting inspiration\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7\u003cbr\u003e With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.2\u003cbr\u003e Retell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or lesson.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.7\u003cbr\u003e Use illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, setting, or events.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.8 x 10.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767261724960,"sku":"9781773064680","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/86d413f56f63060be2733ed913b6a404.webp?v=1780307775","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/as-glenn-as-can-be-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
