Thirty years later, the mission was taken up by a man who had played the organ between movies at Manhattan's Capitol Theater. Jacob Maurice Coopersmith, a stubby, dedicated, bustling man with thick eyeglasses, caught the fever too. He caught it quite by accident. At Harvard, working on a Ph.D. thesis, he had trouble finding his way through Chrysander's 100 volumes of the Handel "complete" works: they had no thematic index. He decided to make one. After two years at it he had caught up with Chrysander, but had accounted for only two-thirds of Handel...

Like a great translation which becomes a work of art by its own merits, a good transcription becomes a piece of music which can be enjoyed as a new work. Purists might still complain, but with...
None was awaited with more interest than the new overture by brilliant young Aram Khachaturian, 43, which will have its premiere in Leningrad during the celebrations. He had scored it for 110 pieces, including a pipe organ and 18 trumpets. Said he: "It has no literary program-it is pure music." Then he hastily added: "But it has ideas . . . the legitimate feeling of pride and rejoicing for our nation's victory over the German invaders and the social significance of the 30th anniversary of the revolution...
