...without a flaw?" Acclaim awaited the quartet in small towns as well as big: In Sweden's Malmo (pop. 192,498), they turned down an offer of a three-month teaching contract; in a town in the French Alps they were toasted in champagne by the local chamber music society. Financially, the tour was less successful : because they decided to take their families ("It's the best insurance against divorce"), the players paid out $25,000, took in only $15,000. But they had no regrets as they closed out their tour last week. Said Second Violinist Loft...
...punctuated by choral enunciations of the Hebrew letters that divide the text. The letters are short, frequently no more that a bar, and gentle, in the manner of Orpheus and the Sonata for two pianos. The considerable body of instruments is never used all at once, but broken into chamber-like groups; even then the instrumental comments are decidedly laconic. Exceptionally, the first movement includes a remarkable passage for tenor and fluegelhorn in free canon, while low sopranos, altos and low violins tremolandi move about restlessly. The peculiar, dark tone of the fluegelhorn (alto bugle) is oddly appropriate in this...

...water (which does not absorb as many neutrons as ordinary water). When this solution is flowing in a small-bore pipe, it does not react, because the fissionable uranium atoms are too strung out to form a critical mass. But when the fuel solution flows into a spherical reaction chamber, the compact mass becomes critical. A nuclear chain reaction starts, and heats the solution. Before the reaction goes too far, the solution is sucked away by pumps and forced through a heat exchanger, where it heats ordinary water to produce high-pressure steam (see diagram), which in turn...
...slight man, Mahler wrote giant-sized, tempestuous music that echoes his countryman, Anton Bruckner; on first hearing, a Mahler piece usually sounds like far-out Brahms with Wagnerian delusions. To Mahler, the symphony was the ideal musical form; he composed no chamber music, no music for solo instruments, no small-scaled choral pieces; even his famous song cycle, Das Lied von der Erde, calls for a full orchestra. Of the ten symphonies he wrote, only the First and Fourth are of normal length; the rest run on for as much as 90 minutes and employ vast orchestras. Symphony...
