Instantly, the shoal of reporters who were keeping a round-the-clock watch on the final agonies of the Fourth Republic set off in hot pursuit. As they left (in chase after a decoy), a slim, white-haired man whose features were drawn with fatigue slipped quietly out the back door of the Hotel Matignon and got into another car.

He was referring to the station's recent all-night music shows...

As performed last week by the San Francisco Symphony, with Robert Gross as violin soloist, it proved to be a propulsive, clamorous virtuoso work in both twelve-tone and traditional diatonic idioms, with its limber solo line woven through the big sonorities of the orchestra in a stirringly unfolding tapestry of sound. The first movement, in alternating slow and fast tempi, built to its main climax by echoing the solo violin nights with orchestral figurations set at closer and closer intervals. By turns...
