Rachmaninoff's music never has
been anyone else's as much as
his own, and it may be that his
own recording soon will be
available in microgrooves. The
Horowitz competition is not to
be dismissed lightly, either.
Few of us have two pianos in
the house, but Westminster
would like us to think we do.
One would be modern. The other
would be Viennese, vintage 1785.
Paul Badura-Skoda, who will
be hereabouts soon, plays first
one and then the other on two
new records. One disc contains
five pieces by Mozart. The sec
ond contains the same five. The
idea is to show how Mozart's
music sounded on a piano of his
own time compared to one Of
ours. One difference: the pitch
is lower.
The old piano is a bit twangy,
of course, but by no means un-
pleasantly so. And it's nothing
like a harpsichord. Mozart wrote
only few early pieces for
harpsichord; the rest were for
an instrument like this (harpsi-
chordists please note). Perhaps
we will still prefer our modern,
full-toned pianos, but the COM
parison makes interesting listen
ing. The music is: Sonata in
F, K. 533; rondos, K. 494 and
485: fantasy and fugue. K. 394,
and adagio in B minor, K. $40.
It's among Mozart's best for
keyboard, incidentally.
Beethoven's magnificent varia-
tions on a waltz by Diabelli,
seldom heard in concert, are
played splendidly on a Vox disc
by Mieczyslaw Horszowski, one
of the most musicianly of con-
temporary pianists. The re-
corded sound is fine. This ought
to be in every keyboard COL
lection.
Another Vox disc contains
three infrequently heard Chopin
works, the variations on Mo-
zart's La CT Darem la Mano,"
"Andante' Spianato and Grande
PolonaiSe," and Variations
Brillantes' on tune by Herold.

and added:
"Such a claim may insinuate
that Roman Catholics are espio-

unfair to loyal Americans who
are members of the Roman Cath

tify the claims that have been
made in other countries by those
who have attacked Roman Cath

The ministers called on the
Senate ito stand steadfast in sup

forth by our founding fathers. and
to refuse to ratify any nomina-

Both the Senate and House

The new bulk-purchase postal
card surcharge amounts to 10 per

Senate-HouSe conference and
never was considered by the SEN
