...must have been to send 'em home happy. This was done effectively by Galimir and company's performance of Mozart's Divertimento No. 7 in D major, K. 205. Scored for violin, viola, 'cello, double bass, two French horns and bassoon, the piece provided a refreshing antidote to the solid-string sound that had preceeded it. The preponderance of instruments with low ranges tended to make the piece a bit bottom heavy, but Galimir played as if trying to make up singlehandedly for the dearth of treble companions.

Betsy Graves Reyneau has four portraits on exhibit. She clearly has solid technical competence, but her work shows an excessively smooth slickness that I find somewhat distasteful.

In 1954, only one survived, and he died...
