...good way for sons of musicians to occupy their time and bring the family kudos is to be prodigious. Little Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a harpsichordist at three, a composer at four. Ludwig van Beethoven fiddled at five; Johann Sebas tian Bach permitted himself, a small moppet, to be discovered poring over music at night in the garret. But Bob and Ted Maier, five-and six-year-old sons of Guy Maier, who was Lee Pattison's two-piano partner until last March (TIME, March 2), are no altruistic prodigies. They compose and write lyrics only when bribed...
York University. New York likes to come and loll on the grass, wheel its babby-carriage up & down, drink its pop as Bandmaster Goldman plays from a large, catholic repertory: chorales and fugues of Johann Sebastian Bach, waltzes of Waldteufel, operatic gems and band transcriptions of modern works like Claude Achille Debussy's La Cathedrale Engloittie and Ottorino Respighi's Pines of Rome.

It was mostly on his drugstore earnings that he began formal lessons with blind David Duffield Wood of Philadelphia...
...spirit the Bach Festival in Bethlehem has stayed surprisingly the same as when Fred Wolle started it in 1900. Steel now possesses Bethlehem but Steelman Charles Michael Schwab helps support the Choir. Lehigh's Packer Memorial Church houses the performance because the Moravian church will no longer accommodate the crowds. But the Moravian Trombone Choir plays from the tower before each session, as it did in 1900 from the Moravian Church Tower, as its forerunners did when George Washington passed through the village. Last week's program did not differ materially from those of the past: cantatas were...
