[edit] obscure and academic
Currently the article states that before Gould the Variations were "considered a relatively obscure and academic piece." Wanda Landowska's recording was in 1931, so the piece was widely available; I don't think this statement is accurate. Gould undeniably made it much more popular, but that's a very different thing to say. Regardless, verification is needed. Chick Bowen 20:48, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- It is usually presented that way in the context of Gould's life story, but at any rate, I've refined the statement. Note that Bazzana calls it "esoteric". I'm not putting quotes around it in the article—we can still use adjectives, I hope. –Outriggr § 04:59, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- That's an enormous improvement--thanks. Chick Bowen 16:35, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
