...clear, though, from the very first phrase of Beethoven's knotty Op. 111, that the performance would in no way resemble a wrestling match, and that technically Indjic was more than the man for the task.

...exhibit has attempted to interrelate these different schools since Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art's "Cubism and Abstract Art" in 1936.
