Black and white photo. Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, dressed in white tights, huge ballet slippers, a white practice tutu, white sleeveless top, and feathered ballet headdress, smiling broadly with one arm around violinist Isaac Stern, who is dressed in a suit and also smiling broadly. To their right is a smiling Gregory Peck, also in a suit. They are standing in front of music stands and chairs in an outdoor performance space in a San Francisco park, and there is a dark hanging banner in the background with what looks like an Al Hirschfield caricature of Stern playing violin reproduced in white. The year is 1990.

Piano sheet music for the Carlotta Grisi variation in Pas de Quatre. The tempo marking is "Andante", the written time-signature is three-four (three quarter notes per measure), but the notation shows music in two-four (two quarter notes per measure). Essentially, it's a typo.
