Most of the numbers on the program came from the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque. The major item, however, was the Sonata for Flute, Oboe, 'Cello and Harpsichord (1952) by Elliot Carter '30. The Piano Sonata (1946) marked the beginning of Carter's complete technical mastery. The present Sonata, which won the Walter W. Naumburg Musical Foundation Award in 1956, was written between two highly controversial and monumental works, the String Quartet (1951) and the Variations for Orchestra...

Last week, in a policy switch, Secretary of State Dulles confirmed that Western controls on Red trade will be eased "appreciably." Within a month, about 80 items are expected to be lifted from the 200-plus-item strategic-embargo list, including some chemicals and machine tools, nearly all raw materials, electronic equipment, trucks, cars, ships and perhaps older planes, such...
