Abuse from all sides was immediately poured in upon the gentlemen who had given all their time, thought, and attention for many weeks." This abuse caused the resignation of the coaches, for the article continues: "A coach, once secured, should be kept for a series of years, and, if necessary, paid a salary...

They heard Rachmaninov's dense symphonic thunders rendered to the last chord, and they shook their heads. Definitely, it was a disappointment.
