Russell Woollen's Flute Quartet was the only work to suffer in performance. While playing correctly enough, the instrumentalists--particularly the flutist--did little to give the quartet the dynamic treatment it needs to hold together.

In fact, most of them suffer from "spontaneous tendencies toward capitalism." Others, unable to see the logic of increasing output or wealth only to have to give it up to government confiscators, are now afflicted, say the propagandists, with the delusion that poverty is best...
