Still, we feel obligated to enlighten you. It seems to us that the real Bohemian must contribuute more than mere color to this drab existence. The rigors of Bohemianism--which seem to involve both the physical pain of over-indulgence and considerable mental anguish (and even disorder)--surely do not make it a pleasurable state. One must assume, therefore, that a real Bohemian must have a purpose for his revolt. The actions of a real Bohemian must be useful to his own purpose, and if they are, he must certainly be a very happy man. Now, his purpose...
...which national states regard any proposal to limit their sovereignty-as Deputy Foreign Minister of Sweden he had plenty of practice in thinking in purely nationalistic terms-Hammarskjold moves cautiously, never asks more power than he needs or the situations require. But he refuses to regard himself as a mere agent of a legislature. Given a mission, e.g., to arrange a cease-fire in Egypt.

Schnabel's playing was never note-perfect, but his performances on these disks have something so compelling that mere perfection would seem paltry by comparison. The recorded sound transferred from the old disks varies from good to barely acceptable by modern standards, despite the labors of Victor engineers. The package sells for a luxurious $80, a price that does not preclude some annoying corner-cutting: the sonatas are crammed together, one starting wherever the previous one leaves off, as if the listener were going to stack the entire 32 sonatas on his changer and run them through chronologically...
