...study on the legacy of E=mc2: talk of atomic war, an arms race. "So you don't believe that there will ever be peace?" Halsman asked as he released the shutter. Einstein's eyes, Halsman said, "had a look of immense sadness...a question and a reproach in them." He answered, "No. As long as there will be man, there will...
...looking for a solemn play then see something else. If you're looking for a rocking good time and entertainment at its best, Stomp caters to your needs.

In any case the risks he took at high speeds were admirable, and his confident, blind leaps across three octaves are a reproach to showier pianists who conduct their business at unnecessary altitudes above the keyboard. The Three Mazurkas Op. 56 were a satisfying palate cleanser, so to speak. The first sounded at one moment like the bustling "Of Foreign Lands and Peoples" from Schumann's "Scenes from Childhood," and the second...
