Last month, Steve Schwartz posted a fine review of the Verdi String Quartet's recording of Toch's sixth and twelfth quartets (cpo 999 776-2). A book by Toch, "The Shaping Forces of Music", is in print and, at $8.95, is not inordinately expensive. Here's a mini-review and a link where you can purchase the book: http://www.midi-classics.com/p1445.htm. But people on this List- particularly residents of the USA- are urged to go to the classical website (www.classical.net) and click on the amazon link to purchase the book, thereby supporting this List.
