...well knew, it was tuberculosis. And when she did die five years later at the age of 34, the writing she left behind was indeed a scrappy oeuvre: 88 stories, 26 of them unfinished, many others juvenilia, sketches, magazine-formula pieces, experimental cul-de-sacs. Fortunately, among them were also shards of genius. Her best stories-At the Bay, Je ne parle pas français, The Daughters of the Late Colonel, The Garden Party, perhaps half a dozen others-leaped beyond the traditional 19th century tale in a few quick, bright strokes. Although they were short on narrative...
...Complete Works of Anton Webern (Columbia, 4 LPs) lays before us a lifetime of composing in roughly three hours of listening time. (A further set, presumably comprising Webern's juvenilia and unpublished works, is planned for release at a later date.) The generally excellent performances, recorded over a period of 41/2 years under Pierre Boulez's direction, feature the London Symphony Orchestra and such guest artists as Violinist Isaac Stern, Pianist Charles Rosen and the late Gregor Piatigorsky. They supplant in every way the pioneering complete Webern recorded by Robert Craft in the 1950s, also on Columbia...

...Tate Gallery in London by three art historians, Leslie Parris, Ian Fleming-Williams and Conal Shields. It celebrates Constable's 200th birthday and is the largest showing of his work ever. For the first time, one can see the whole man under one roof-from the juvenilia (a graffito he scratched on a beam in the family mill when he was 16) and memorabilia, to the grand series of 6-ft. landscapes he painted in the 1820s and '30s. These include The Hay Wain, The Leaping Horse, Salisbury Cathedral, from the Meadows, Hadleigh Castle. In them Constable...
...staggering 3,800 of them survive. Editors Nigel Nicolson and Joanne Trautmann have decided to publish most of the missives in a series of six stout volumes. This first installment, which collects Virginia's correspondence between the ages of six and 30, includes a glut of juvenilia and ends on the eve of her first publication, before she had become the Virginia Woolf of literary history. Yet it provides the undeniable fascination of watching her become that woman...
