Plethora of Particles. For years physicists have been confused by the largely accidental discovery of more and more particles. They appear in the smashed-up debris of collisions between other particles, and they show up clear and sharp on bubble-chamber pictures and other detection devices. By the time about 100 such bits of matter had been found, physicists began to doubt that they were really elementary. Questions arose. Were some of the particles merely "states" of other particles, differing in only minor ways? Were they all just combinations of a few really elementary particles? No one knew for sure...
...proper stranger were still disgruntled over the manner in which the affair had been handled by The Netherlands' government. The nation especially resented seeing popular Queen Juliana humiliated when she first announced that the engagement was off and then had to eat her words.

Kirchner's Concerto, commissioned by the Chamber Music Society of Baltimore and completed in 1960, is a vast rhapsody. Like a long cadenza, it exploits constant shifts of timbre, pace, and loudness. A recognizable motif stated at the beginning of the first of the two movements is repeated later by the French horn; aside from that recurrence, little apparent form but great passion animates the work...
