[f_minor] Farewell Glenn

[DJ Were-Panda]

I was too young to remember the day when GG passed away...I was only eight
months old.  I came upon GG from reading a biography on Leopold Stokowski
while I was in high school.  In the biography, there was a picture of
Stokowski with GG as they were rehearsing for Beethoven's 5th Concerto, and
I was really fascinated by his attractiveness.  I went to the library and
borrowed two LPs of GG: Beethoven Op. 10 sonatas, and Beethoven Concerto
No. 2 and Bach No. 1 with Bernstein (both Columbia Masterworks OOP) and was
just blown away by the clarity of his playing.

I started reading books on or by GG.  Sometime in 1997, Peter Ostwald
released a book about his POV on GG's psychological diagnosis.  So I was
actually at a U of South Florida library new release section when I saw
that GG had actually passed away many years ago.
