...your head, can you name two or three of the world's greatest bassoon players? Nor can I: the unfortunate bassoon has in recent times been much neglected as a solo instrument. David Sogg's performance of Mozart's B flat major concerto, K. 191, showed that this neglect is unwarranted, while providing a welcome respite for a musical world saturated with concerti for piano or for violin. It is unfortunate that more people did not take advantage of this nearly unique opportunity to hear an excellent bassoonist in a solo context...

Beyond that, most of these films deal in the search for roots that they obviously hope will sustain their new creative venturings?and perhaps make up for the general neglect of their nation's aesthetically usable past...

Edward FitzGerald, the reclusive translator of The Rubáiyát of Omar...
...potential frustrations of the post. "No university that's any good at all is going to promise tenure to a beginning assistant professor, but they should tell him or her frankly whether the post could lead to tenure," he says. Prospective junior faculty should understand that Harvard's biggest neglect of the undergraduate may frustrate any teaching efforts and that Harvard's tenure policy offers junior faculty scant hope of attaining senior rank...
