This is on being's unheard cuts.

I'm Krista Tippett.

You're listening to my unedited conversation with Bernard Schizell.

He is Eugene Higgins, Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University.

I spoke with him on November 4 in a live conversation

at the Jerome Elgreen Performance Space in Lower Manhattan.

You can download the MP3 of our produced show with Bernard Schizell at on being.org.

Good evening.

From all of us here at WQXR, we are thrilled to welcome Krista Tippett and,

I guess, Eugene Higgins, Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University.

Bernard Schizell to the Jerome Elgreen Performance Space as part of our Bach Festival, Bach Stock.

Krista and Bernard will be out in a few minutes,

but before we hear that conversation about the cosmology of Bach, we thought

you should first hear some of Bach's music.

So we asked our friend, the pianist, Anna Polanski to perform some Bach first tonight.

The New York Times has called Polanski a musician of exceptional refinement.

She's a much in-demand soloist and chamber musician,

in addition to performing she's also serves on the piano faculty at Vassa College.

So please welcome Anna Polanski now to the Jerome Elgreen Performance Space,

and she'll play the first movement of Bach's partita, number two in C minor.

Hello. Good evening.

Thank you, Anna Polanski and Graham Parker of WQXR.
