Fuerzeig ended the program with a very jazzy taste of Gershwin, in honor of what would have been the composer's 89th birthday this week. These short selections, the 'Preludes for Piano' and 'I Got Rhythm', were played with the same technical confidence and attention to detail which marked the entire program...
...virtual imprisonment of AIDS victims in special hospitals. But none of those positions has drawn as much opposition as one he took last week.
