This problem did not persist in the andantino of the second movement, a mostly dark and quiet meditation which the pianist delivered with intelligence. Haefliger, whose father Ernst is a great tenor, always imparted a vocal quality to the music, even in the note-heavy presto rondo. The cadenzas in both the first and third movements had dramatic as well as technical and even visual interest: Haefliger played with his eyes closed but turned toward the ceiling, and wore an expression of ecstatic concentration, his upper body resembling a bust of Homer. The orchestra that had commanded comparatively little attention...
Those who knew Keating during his glory days evoke a complex, highly intelligent and driven executive who often worked 18-hour days. Keating made unmerciful demands on subordinates.

Fleming's further experimentation with penicillin--a few poorly planned attempts to treat patients--proved frustrating, and he turned his attention to other research. But in 1938 Oxford pathologist Howard Florey and his young assistant Ernst Chain took up the work again, using the progeny of Fleming's own molds. In a relatively short time, they demonstrated penicillin's efficacy in treating human infection, a feat that had eluded their predecessor. In 1945, Fleming, Florey and Chain were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine...
