Divided into four movements (Allegro, Scherzo, Adagio and Fugu e), it contains some of Beethoven's most sublime and pro- found music, along with many passages illustrative of his late style — extensive use of con- trapuntal textures, unusual, almost modern sonorities, and so on. The fugue, in particular, makes no concessions to the pianist. Rather, it requires the artist's hands to make rapid, daring leaps all over the keyboard.

Harry Golden's 'So What Else Is New?' and 'Love, Knishes' Out in Paperbacks Fawcett World Library has is- sued Harry Golden's "So What Else Is New?", first published by Putnam in 1964, as a paperback. It contains tidbits, brief anec- dotes, commentaries on scores of subjects, the author's unique way of facing issues. It is, as the publishers say about the book, "a grab bag of wit" and it again echoes the boming voice of the author whose stories of this sort made him famous. Edited by Harry Golden Jr., this new paperback contains nostalgic Goldenesque references to his early years on the East Side and the schools he attended there, to his experiences in the South, to Jewish and other incidents. It tackles the UN, the DAR, histori- cal incidents and comments on leading Americans and other noted personalities. Fawcett World Library also has issued as part of Fawcett Crest Books Sara Kasdan's "Love and Knishes" as a paperback. Featuring traditional recipes, the book links the kitchen with the human element—with love, with a variety of entertaining stories that have delighted the reader when the book first appeared in hard covers.
