...deeply embedded in the curriculum of music conservatories, and he towers too imposingly as an unrivaled craftsman. Polish Composer Krzysztof Penderecki, 35, acknowledges the continuity between Bach and his own St. Luke Passion (1966) by spelling out the master's name in a recurring cantus firmus: B flat, A, C, H (the German notation for B natural). Used by Bach himself in The Art of Fugue, the motif is a traditional tribute that has been paid by composers as diverse as Schumann, Liszt and Webern...
...political What's My Line?, the 30-minute production was a little flat; the news of the nominations had all dribbled out well ahead of air time. But as an indication of Nixon's intention to invest the Cabinet with more prestige and responsibility than most of its recent predecessors, the show was a good beginning.

This childhood product suffers from the uneasy mixture of a strong Brahmsian influence with overly thick scoring in all but the last movement. The work occasionally possesses a deep sable ambience characteristic of Strauss and is permeated with his incomparable horn writing, but the material is for the most part as boring as a bog. Strauss' penchant for opaque writing, as if he feels guilty when someone isn't playing, only redoubles...
Substitute First Baseman. Even as a boy out of Blooming Grove, Ohio, "Winnie" Harding went in for nothing much more strenuous than tootling his B-flat cornet in the band. After five minutes of shucking corn, he gave it up for good, "saying it was too hard." At Iberia College-now Ohio Central College -his main interests were "debating, writing, and making friends," desultory preparation for the desultory professional floundering that followed...
