...There was a satisfying bigness about his reading that fitted this concerto perfectly, while not sloughing over the more lyrical passages. The second theme of the opening movement, particularly, with its appealing soulfulness, had a tender, longing quality without being sentimental. One could have wished for just a little less deliberateness in the second movement, a little more flash in the finals, and greater rhythmic definition throughout; but these are minor considerations in the light of a competent and careful performance...

"Don't forget the House volleyball," he told himself, "the Rhodes people like jocks." The Marshall needed six thousand-word statements. Same as the Rhoes, he calculated; less sportsy and more on intellectual interests. He would write those in a minute, now back to the outside of the Fulbright forms. Then to the white Foreign Government Grants. St. Paul's rang eleven. Back to the Australian study projects... four Travel Grants; back to the Marshall essays...
