...come out on top financially last year, the parent University had to eat into previously built-up accounts to help balance the books of 18 departments which lost money in 1948-1949. Some of these departments had previous balances of their own with which to write off their debts, but in the other cases the University had to come to the rescue. As a result of continued resort to this expedient over the past few years, University reserves today are less than a third of what they were...

The dry-tang texture of the first movement, caused by the conflict of harmonies between violin and piano, combines with the many melodies to give a very striking effect. Perhaps the finest moment in the piece comes in the carefully built-up climax of the second movement.

When reconnaissance photographs were at last obtained, they showed 4.1 square miles-60% of the city's built-up area-destroyed by fire and blast. There was no crater in which the blast effect would have been largely wasted; the bomb had exploded well above ground. How many tens of thousands of Hiroshima's people had perished was not yet and might never be known...
