Though the children who had heard 10 works by composers mostly known as classical were still up, still filled with the music, it was time to move with their teachers to the exits of the Brooklyn Academy and toward the yellow school buses that had stood outside like sentries during the concert hour.Two thousand children from Brooklyn public schools listenedand moved to short pieces or movements by Mozart, Prokofieff, Bartok, Vivaldi, Duke Ellington and Amram, during each of 10 free schooltime concerts performed last week by the Philharmonia, the Amram Jazz Quartet, and soloists like Bill Mathews, Caiman Fleisig, Wilmer Wise and Vincent Aba to. And unlike the heavy old %u201c serious%u201d music appreciation days, the kids%u2019 concentration never lagged. Their loud applause for such pieces as Bartok%u2019s %u201c Bear Dance,%u201d Milhaud%u2019s %u201c Scaram ouche,%u201d V iva ld i%u2019 s %u201c Concerto No. 19 in A for Viola & Orchestra,%u201d Ellington%u2019s confirmed the Amram %u201c no walls%u201d concept. The music interspersed with short comments about each composer, was shared with the children rather than pressed upon them, and the sounds, the varied rhythms and the highlighting of different instruments, left the children in a mood of wanting more.D i d n ' t t o < r %u00a3 $ i < 4 T H i s y e A R ?Thfn visit A\\fL 50UVLAKII *4 7 A \\o w T d & .U %u00a3 .

The Austrian-born Handke emerged on the literary scene in 1966 with the publication of his first novel, The Hornets, and his first play %u201c Offending the Audience.%u201d Since that time his writing has had a startling impact throughout Europe. The radical playwright%u2019s works were first introduced to the American theater in 1971 by the Chelsea Theater Center with its productions of %u201c Self Accusation%u201d and %u201c My Foot My Tutor.%u201d%u201c Kaspar,%u201d Handke%u2019s first full length play, is loosely based on an actual historical figure by the name of Kaspar Hauser. According to the story, Kaspar Hauser mysteriously turned up in Nuremburg at the age of 16, but with the mind of a child%u2014unable to speak or walk. Handke uses this autistic person as a point of departure to explore man as he is taught a society%u2019s conduct through language; in so doing the playwright scrutinizes the conventions we all live by and with.%u201c Kaspar%u201d will be directed by Carl Weber who directed Handke%u2019s %u201c The Ride Across Lake Constance%u201d at Lincoln Center last season.
