Happily, Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.5 matched the brilliance of the Mozart. Harpsichordist G. S. Rousseau ripped through his part with a technical virtuosity that left listeners breathless. His concern with speed caused him to rush in all three movements, but his control and clear phrasing helped make up for this. Violinist Marylou Speaker and flutist Leslie Claff both played very sensitively, executing their imitative sections elegantly.

Nor is the correct and graceful use of language a simple matter of well regulated memory." Students whose "good preparation" in secondary school has made them complacent about their writing are the targets of Kiely's worry...
