Her tone was clear and singing, her energy heroic as she swept into the Presto Agitato. To Mozart's A Major Sonata she brought little grace.

Mozart and Schubert will have a place on Schnabel's recital programs this winter. But for New Yorkers he has another stiff Beethoven test. Next week he will play the Thirty-three Variations on a Waltz by Diabelli. Said he to his manager last week: "You may warn the public, if you like, that they...
