...Beethoven, Ravel and Schubert-their work reflects years of study, discussion and meticulous rehearsal. Yet it is never reduced to rote. "During a concert, the one who has an inspiration will go with it," says Pressler. "The others will follow, even if they disagree. Then we do not simply replay a piece, we re-create...
...four weeks on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list, it is now in second place. The TV program has also spawned a 16-mm film of the series at $6,200 and video cassettes at $4,800 for the economics student who might wish to see an instant replay of the causes for the Great Depression.
