In the opening Concerto No. 4, composed when Mozart was eleven, she unfolded the beguilingly simple melodies with a rippling grace and ease; in No. 9 she engaged the Mozart Chamber Orchestra in a lighthearted dialogue that rang with all the gusto of a back-porch gossip fest.

...another marathon session ending at 5 a.m., the Common Market had agreed on a financing system for price supports and export subsidies-of which France will collect about 45% -and for modernizing farming, which will benefit Italy the most. These and other agreements virtually complete the creation of what the French call Europe verte (a green Europe), which will formally sprout on July 1, 1968, the date when the last industrial tariffs among the Six are also scheduled to disappear...
