...Nos. 1 & 2. The U.S. will give intermediate-range ballistic missiles and the nuclear warheads for them to the Supreme Allied Commander Europe-currently U.S. General Lauris Norstad.

In keeping with Bach's principle that any number can play, Richter had the work performed by only eight players-two violas, a cello, two violas da gamba, two string basses and a harpsichord. It emerged as a chamber work with crystal transparency, uncovering contrapuntal voices heard as they were seldom heard...
