...hunting rifles, wounding seven cops and taking two injuries of their own in a half-hour firefight. When it was all over, the police gathered up a sackful of weapons, 35 cars that had been abandoned on goat paths, and 21 gunmen aged 19 to 75. But the pezzi grossi (big shots) got away...

The second concerto, distinguished by a beautiful first movement, fared much better with Tison Street...
