...Trio in E flat, for the weird combination of piano, violin, and French horn, is one of the most delightful of Brahms' early creations. The three instruments sound surprisingly well together and the music itself, though-not possessing the vitality and depth of the more mature composer, has many interesting moments...
Hobby Lobby. The Greenewalts live in a 15-room rambling stone hilltop house 7½ miles outside Wilmington with their children, Nancy, 22, David, 20, Crawford Jr., 13. Greenewalt, who used to play clarinet, cello and the piano, now likes to tootle on the basset horn. His restless mind ranges rapidly from hobby to hobby.

...sophomore, junior, senior and graduate averages come from New England homes, wear sweaters, skirts and low-heeled shoes (but seldom black horn-rimmed glasses and, complying with college rules, no blue jeans, ski pants, slacks or the like except in dormitories at certain hours and outdoors in sub-zero, blizzard weather). They prefer arts to technical courses, and are enrolled in the only college in the world that doesn't have a faculty...
