...violin with piano accompaniment, op. 47 of Schoenberg, with Lynn Chang on the violin and Marta Dabezies at the piano. This piece would be of some historical interest, in any event, since it is Schoenberg's last will and testament, the last work he composed; but Mr. Chang's faultless account of the virtuosic violin part made the Phantasie interesting as music.

But thanks to a faultless sense of pace, his scholarship never becomes oppressive. A chapter on definitions is followed by anecdotes about prodigies of consumption -including an account of a general who downed eight bottles of wine with breakfast, but who won Brillat-Savarin's admiration because he did it "with an air of not touching them...
