For Marvels (recently reported by leading cancer researchers to be the nation's safest cigarette): a cut in tars from 8.6 mg. to 3.7 mg., and in nicotine, from...
...outdo himself, Monday night Shure tackled not two but three major works of the piano repertoire. Once again, Beethoven and Schubert figured prominently on the program, the former represented by the venerated Sonata in E, Op. 109, and the latter by another fruit of his frantic but fecund last eleven months, the Sonata in c minor, Op. posthumous...
