Whether the two movements were written at the same time nobody knows. But according to Conductor Sacher, the second movement is an exact musical portrait of Violinist Stefi Geyer, whom friends remember as a dark, rapt beauty, a trifle spoiled by her early musical success, and more interested in her career than in young Bartok...
...Nietzschean yeasayer who devours all ex perience, even the experience of a brutal beating, and finds it nourishing. Author Sillitoe has recognized and unforgettably defined a type. Actor Finney, under the keen direction of Karel Reisz, a gifted maker of documentary movies, embodies the type with remarkable vigor and exact ness.

Dos Passos' own fictional characters are manikins, but they acquire a certain animation and excitement by being placed...
