                  Ok let's have some DSCH counterpoint - how about this companion of his?

                      So who is he with in #550? One of the American composers, Piston or Schuman or similar?

                        Nor can I. The tree looks more like Henry Wood than the chap in the photo!

                          No - you were right with Walt; October, 1959 (courtesy of the DSCH Journal).

                          Doesn't Kabelevsky look like Tortelier in your photo!

                            I'm astonished the Soviet overlords allowed that meeting, let alone photo, knowing their attitudes to all things American cultural.
