...bone to heal properly, he would have to forego the next day's solo performance with the Boston Pops, so that the cast could dry and set properly. But Biggs chose to neglect his health, rather than his art. The next day at Symphony Hall, Biggs positioned the organ so that no one would be able to witness the incredible feat that was to follow, and he gave a brilliant performance, holding the tender and fractured right arm with the healthy left one, whenever he needed...
...French party, too, still has among its top leadership men who were once staunch Stalinists. Marchais himself is a new (and in some quarters suspect) convert to the more liberal tenets of Euro-Communism. The French Communists were stung by an article in the Soviet Party organ Pravda blasting their participation in a Paris rally called to support political prisoners in the Soviet Union.

The intensity of repetition leads to clearer seeing, deeper insight; it's a curiously challenging boredom. The unfamiliar is so predictable as to become unexpected. Composer Steve Reich articulates this aesthetic in an essay defining music as a "gradual process." He writes, "I want to be able to hear the process happening throughout the sounding music," a perfect description of "Marimba," a dance about form revealing itself...
