Desmond Skirrow (1924-76) uses but twelve well-chosen words in Ode on a Grecian Urn summarized...
Hawkes' genius lies in organization. She divides the period between 35000 B.C. and A.D. 500 into eight time steps. Each is examined on a global basis and shows in well-chosen words, maps and pictures what was going on throughout the world in such critical areas as art, architecture and technology...

Perhaps in an effort to compensate, Baker overconducted the second movement (Adagio), and his vigorous beating clashed with the lyrical 3/4 meter...
