COVER STORY
Editing
Kurt Andersen and film editor Dody Dorn look at the art of editing and the people who decide what stays and what goes.
  Editing
Glenn Gould
In the classical recording world,
performance is thought of as a fluid spontaneous art. But in post-production,
thousands of tiny, inaudible edits shape the music to perfection. Should
a listener care? Produced by Sara Fishko.
