AB Glenn Gould’s legacy revolves around his retirement from the concert hall in1964. Studies of his artistry often reflect on that by following a particular impulse: toseek out the rational underpinnings of this decision and to explain them in terms of alarger technological or aesthetic vision. Drawing in particular on the work of VirginiaHeld and Sara Ahmed, this article conceptualises Gould’s abandonment of the concerthall as an act of self-care, a mechanism for coping with the increasingly intrusive andexploitative celebrity musical culture into which he was catapulted as a young musician.Thus, this article frames Gould’s self-care in terms of six overlapping scenes, as heperformed in the concert hall and recording studio, in interviews and essays, and infront of the camera as photographic subject and television actor, culminating with acase study based on an excerpt from Bruno Monsaingeon’s documentary "Glenn Gould: The Alchemist". The study concludes by suggesting that Gould’s artistic choices (andachievements) had much more to do with cultivating caring relations that allowed himto thrive than they did with an individual pursuit of a grand musical philosophy.
