The Pittsburgh (PA) Schools change course and DOUBLE the number of music teachers serving grades 4-8. Now EIGHT teachers will be travelling among 23 schools, once every seven days. A vast improvement, but still not good enough.

A friend of mine is visiting the UK and I urged him to go to the Proms. As the only concert that fit into his schedule included a Brahms piano concerto, he hemmed and hawed. But then this report, "The Brahms was heavenly. Peter Serkin was the soloist. Rich, resonant orchestra along with one of the most beautiful sounding Steinways I've ever heard." Interesting that Peter was the soloist. My favorite recording of both concertos is an LP with his Papa, Rudolf, backed up by George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra.
