thank you Davkett and ...by the way "northmanship"

Thanks Davkett for your answer about "any more than any emotions are rational". It's a comment of Yehudi Menuhin about Glenn Gould.
By the way, what does mean exactly here "northmanship". (It's this word only a Glenn Gould's invention?):
' I don't go let me say again for this NORTHMANSHIP at all. People say, " wel, were you ever up at the North Pole ..." you know, it's pretty childish'
Thanks, jo.

You are referring to any more than any emotions . Well, I certainly do not want to go on record criticizing a comment by Yehudi Menuhin on playing music with Glenn Gould. Like many quotable comments by artists, though, they are frequently not meant to apply in all circumstances.
