...burn away the epidermis and 50 to 100 microns of dermis, resulting in fresh skin growth. What's new is the emergence of "nonablative" lasers and light sources, including Cool Touch, manufactured by ICN Pharmaceuticals of Costa Mesa, Calif., and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), made by Lumenis of Santa Clara, Calif.

The work was written during the white-heat inspiration of Schumann’s tumultuous courtship of the brilliant pianist, Clara Wieck, whom he would later marry. While the work does not quite reach the desperation and pathos of other Clara-obsessed compositions (such as the Fantasy in C Major), it shares many of the features of other Schumann compositions from the same time period, namely capriciousness and extremity of emotions (from the heroic Eusebius to the introspective...
