...JOSEPH SZIGETI (Mercury). The 74-year-old violinist plays mostly sonatas by four modern masters: Debussy, Ives, Honegger and Webern. The Debussy Sonata in C Minor is competent interpretation, but Szigeti really excels in tenser linear works -the eclectic Ives in his only violin sonata and the neo-Baroque Honegger (Sonata No. 7), with its complex, difficult ornamentation, sound fresh and clear. The record's highlight is four pieces (Opus 7) by Anton Webern, none longer than 72 seconds, in which the stripped-down starkness of modern music and its intolerance of repetition or romance are emphasized by Szigeti...

Outraged, the Rose sisters asked Manhattan's Surrogate Court either to dismiss the executors or order them to bury the decedent. Surrogate Joseph A. Cox denied both motions, ruling that "it cannot be said that a fiduciary availing himself of a legal remedy is guilty of improper conduct." Added Cox: Burying the dead is the privilege of the next of kin, while it is "the obligation of the executors to pay the reasonable funeral expenses...
