...overall unity inherent in similarly-executed repetitions of the rhythmic ostinato figure. The scherzo, marked presto, was played too slowly to bring off the abundant rustic humor, while the trio, undoubtedly intended to be the lightest moment in this quartet, became a curiously contemplative "solo" for first violinist Shmuel Ashkenasi. In the final movement, Haydn employs the admittedly questionable device of recapitulating in the parallel major what had been rather serious material in G minor. The pompous ritard prior to this moment, as well as the following saccharine tempo, again made a perfectly transparent gesture seem a bit stilted...

Saved by a whim, the embittered youth also descends upon Israel. There the tensions of filial hatred and paternal remorse are unstrung against the sun-scorched background of today's Beersheba, city of patriarchs. Author Dayan's hard-bitten way with the English language raises this novel well above the sagging sentimentality of the Urises and Micheners...
