...Sincerity" first entered common English usage in the early sixteenth century, denoting the purity, soundness, and non-adulteration of anything from alcoholic brews to the Gospel. It soon became associated, most strikingly in Shakespeare, with the moral virtue of wholeness, integrity, lack of dissimulation or pretense. Trilling introduces his concept of sincerity through Polonius's sage advice to be "to thine own self true," that "thou canst not be false to any man." From this point on to its decline in the nineteenth century, the paradigm of sincerity was an idea of self imbedded in social consciousness, with a keen...

The Pachelbel Chaconne in F Minor was a conservative piece whose execution was marred only by some intolerable upper registrations.

These sounded contrived in their flagrant, often unmusical exploitation of every available stop...

Thus the movement was robbed of both the intended contrast of the alternating...

Playing the piccolo trumpet. Robert Hazen noticeably tired in the final allegro, missing some high notes altogether and parts from sixteenth-note sequences. In the first movement, though, he was in much better from with a beautifully quiet tone that blended well with flute, oboe, and strings. peter Weiss played oboe unevenly: he was not sensitive to the dynamics of the other players, and he occasionally made subordinate parts...
