...genius of Leonardo da Vinci imagined a flying machine, but it took the methodical application of science by these two American bicycle mechanics to create it. The unmanned gliders spawned by their first efforts flew erratically and were at the mercy of any strong gust of wind. But with help from their wind tunnel, the brothers amassed more data on wing design than anyone before them, compiling tables of computations that are still valid today. And with guidance from this scientific study, they developed the powered 1903 Flyer, a skeletal flying machine of spruce, ash and muslin, with a wingspan...

At first the great Magyar thirteenth variation seemed in danger of being too subdued, but then a gust of forceful, mordent arpeggios stirred one back to sense. Pratt's deliberation over the chromaticism of variation 20 was delicious, and his energized attacca of the fugue was stupendous. This is not your grandfather's Brahms--Wilhelm Backhaus was. Wilhelm Backhaus did not have dread-locks...
