~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Gould was born Glenn Gold in Toronto, Ontario. His family later changed their name from Gold to Gould to avoid the anti-semitism that swept Canada in the 1930s. After being taught piano by his mother, whose grandfather was a cousin of Edvard Grieg, Gould attended the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto from the age of ten. There he studied piano with Alberto Guerrero, organ with Frederick C. Silvester, and theory with Leo Smith.
