The article focuses on various music recordings. "Goldberg Variations," played by Glenn Gould. Gould plays most of the variations with clarity of texture and continuity of outline, and a few with dazzling speed that is too great for clarity; but a performance. On Columbia ML-5003 the New Music Quartet does some of its superb playing in Mozart's Quartets K.155, 156, 157 and 158. London DTL-93037 offers Johann Bach's "Passacaglia," his "Toccata" and "Fugue" in D minor. In E flat from the Clavieruebung, and the Prelude and Fugue in A for organ, played by Gaston Litaize.
