...supreme masters of Bach interpretation today are men like Helmut Walcha, Ralph Kirkpatrick, Glenn Gould and Karl Richter. But curiously enough, it is the women who always seem to win the Johann Sebastian Bach International Competitions, which are held in Washington, D.C.; in the last six Bach contests, women took first prize four times and tied once for first-place honors...
Regimen of Recapitulation. The patterning method was devised in the early 1950s by Physical Therapist Glenn J. Doman and Psychologist Carl Delacato. To apply the novel technique, they organized Philadelphia's Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. The therapy is based on a highly disputed hypothesis. According to the Doman-Delacato theory, impairment of speech, vision and manual skills can be caused by the interruption of a child's normal progress from creeping to crawling to walking.

Both pieces demonstrate that the intricacies of the dodecaphonic scale in no way limit emotional expression. "If a composer does not write from the heart, said Schoenberg, "he simply cannot produce good music." Schoenberg did both...
