Displayed instead was a sunny persona, a peaceful, easy feelin', complete with dropped g's, that crowds and cameras were soaking up. Promising to end "finger-pointin' and partisan bickerin'" the way Bush believes he has in Texas, the candidate wove his message of unity throughout. "If you get to decidin' who's the right people and the wrong people, you're pittin' people against each other," he said of Gore's tax plan. "We need a uniter...

Written both to alleviate a Count Kaiserling of his nightly insomnia and as a set of "keyboard exercises," the work has become one of the cornerstones of the repertoire, its aria instantly recognizable to many. Among the aria and 30 variations are nine canons, a French overture, fugues and a quodlibet...
