In the course of reporting the Pearson story, Beal got many new insights, including an opportunity to study Pearson's never-released diary of his 1955 official visit to Moscow.

When necessary, Wolfgang and his associates are joined by flutists, oboists, violinists and viola players who trail behind the furniture van in a chauffeur-driven station wagon. Wandering from town to town, playing for anybody, the group has worked its way through the sonatas, preludes and choir introductions of J. S.
