...Sebastian was only one of many talented Bachs who furnished Germany with music for seven generations. Himself the culmination of a long line of Bachs, the great Johann Sebastian begot 20 children, three of whom became composers of world renown: Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Johann Christian Bach and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach...
Most gifted of this trio was Carl Philipp Emanuel (1714-88), whose fame long outshone his father's. For 27 years C. P. E. had the politically impressive but musically dubious honor of accompanying Frederick the Great while he bore down on the flute. Frederick played a repertory of some 300 concertos in relentless rotation, nearly wore his accompanist out. When the Seven Years' War began, C. P. E. got temporary relief...
...frayed and yellow manuscripts were written in a beautiful 18th-Century hand, and each bore the name of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. Koldofsky bought the manuscripts and started a six-year search through musical libraries. He found that the manuscripts were not in C. P. E.'s own handwriting. Seven turned out to be copies of concertos by C. P. E. already listed or known to exist in European collections. The other seven, so far as Koldofsky has been able to discover, are new to the musical world. Since all the scripts are in the same handwriting...
Since then both companies have roared ahead: airplane output more than tripled last year; profits rose despite terrific taxes; Army-Navy "E"s showered down. And if Emanuel has not yet got an airborne General Motors, he has the next thing to it. His manufacturing divisions make all types of aviation parts, his new-formed Consolidated Vultee makes all kinds of aircraft, his Aviation Corp. holds 10 to 34% stock interests in Pan American Airways, American Airlines and Roosevelt Field. And Consolidated's own Consairways operates a vast cargo-carrying airline across the Pacific...
...Danger Signals? The big question in Emanuel's strong and massive new setup is whether it is fast and flexible enough to jump the hurdles which have tripped many a big-time industrial conglomeration. Outstanding example is Curtiss-Wright Corp., an outfit which was tossed together in 1929 with high hopes and publicity, promptly piled up big deficits because of the great depression, gangling training schools, overfinanced flying fields and loosely coordinated manufacturing divisions...
