...attempt a real symphony or concerto at every concert? Why not attempt a real piece of twentieth century music at every concert: not Frank Martin, Roberto Gerhard, Alberto Ginastera, or the diaper works of Piston, Prokofiev, and Bartok; but Schoenberg, recent Stravinsky, our own Kirchner. Of course these works are too hard for the orchestra; but the attempts would be worth much more than regurgitations--and bad regurgitations--of Mendelssohn and Faure...
...Olivetti's condition was made more critical by the fact that the dynasty was collapsing. Since Camillo Olivetti's death in 1943, his three sons, three daughters and their children have never been able to agree on common moves.

Gerhard, a native of Catalonia, has written an incoherent suite but good ballet music, it contains some pleasant touches, as in the use of the piano.
