...Malta last month; in Eindhoven last week a Dutch citizen of Moroccan origin was apprehended for allegedly plotting a suicide strike - but nothing crippling to the terrorist enterprise as a whole. The evidence was compel- ling enough for the former director of the German intelligence service, Hans-Georg Wieck, to conclude that Hanning's warning was justified. "You don't make a statement like that just to make people vigilant, otherwise you lose credibility," he says. "They've got something." But what? And is it enough to determine when and where al-Qaeda might strike? According to Omar Bakri Muhammad...
Kissin’s performance of Robert Schumann’s Sonata No. 1 in F-sharp minor was much more convincing. The work was written during the white-heat inspiration of Schumann’s tumultuous courtship of the brilliant pianist, Clara Wieck, whom he would later marry. While the work does not quite reach the desperation and pathos of other Clara-obsessed compositions (such as the Fantasy in C Major), it shares many of the features of other Schumann compositions from the same time period, namely capriciousness and extremity of emotions (from the heroic Eusebius to the introspective...

Whatever the case, the damage was considerable. Tiedge was in a position to know the identities of East Germans...
...from the score or improvised. With the score sitting right there on the piano, how could anyone question the pianist's veracity? If he were improvising, virtually composing on the spot, who was to challenge him? Thus stage fright was all but unknown. But then along came Clara Wieck (soon to become Robert Schumann's wife), who did away with the score at public performances. The result, eventually, was an absolute separation of composer and performer...
