...Symphony (Sun. 5 p.m., NBC). Mozart's Symphony No. 28 in C Major, the third movement from Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2 in E Minor, Strauss's Artist's Life waltz, world premiere of Arthur Lange's Antelope Valley. Conductor: Frank Black...
...adding banal lyrics, Mossman has made more money rewriting masterpieces than the original composers did in writing them. His most successful swipe was Chopin's Polonaise in A Flat, which he turned into Till the End of Time.

This tendency toward repetition is fostered by the English musicians, many of them known only locally, who get a fixed program of works and then stick to them: Benno Moisewitch, for example, has been playing the Rachmaninoff concerti almost ad nauseum, and Solomon has long...
