...cause a predictable effect: the two bodies, which spin around each other about once every eight hours at a velocity of 1.06 million k.p.h. (660,000 m.p.h.), would move ever closer, causing a shortening in their orbital period.

The program includes Beethoven's Trio in B flat opus 11, his Triple Concerto, and his Violin Concerto in D Major. Chang and Kogan played the Franck Violin and Piano Sonata in an excellent and moving concert last year. They...
