...guez died last week in Montevideo, at 51, Buenos Aires newspapers barely mentioned it, and the deadpanned dancers in the big, middle-class dance halls, in the low dives and tony boîtes did not even know that La Cumparsita's composer was dead.

...turned out to be a brilliant wedding of score, choreography and setting. It was not, however, an incitement to riot, as its famed predecessor The Rite of Spring had been in Paris, 35 years ago.

Known otherwise as "The Hungry Five," these gentlemen sported the thickest of gutterel accents, the nattiest of knee-length stockings, and a monstrous tuba that was seven feet tall if it was an inch, grinding out such old favorites as "If You Knew Brunnhilde Like I Know Brunnhilde" ("wow--wow--wow what a frau") and Becthoven's 10th Symphony which smacked suspiciously of "Roll Out the Barrel."
