The little girl pursed her lips and swung her baton with the same concentration and faultless precision that another might devote to a game of jacks. The baton shot up and around as the girl flipped it into a neck roll, then an elbow roll, then an elbow roll with a throw-out, then a shoulder roll with a cutback, and a hitch kick, and a split...

If the symphony as a whole seemed to lack a unity of dramatic conception--only the final allegro was convincingly cohesive--individual sections of it were performed with real distinction. The faultless intonation of the orchestra's winds (the first desk flute and clarinet merit special attention), the resounding firmness of the brasses--all these are easily the equal of almost any professional orchestra. The strings were perhaps too eager to glow wtih romantic intensity, or what-ever; at any rate their...
