Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Kenwood KDC-BT652U by Ken Nail Why replace your factory radio? Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car. Enjoy the advantages of Bluetooth® in your car Kenwood's KDC-BT652U CD receiver takes your phone out of your hand when you're driving and lets you stay focused on the road. When a call comes in, just touch the dedicated "phone" button and talk hands-free — it's as if the caller is sitting next to you. And outgoing calls are easy too, since the receiver can store your phone book in its memory. Bluetooth audio streaming connects this receiver to songs stored on your compatible music player — with no wires cluttering up your dash and console. Your digital music, at your command Once you plug your iPod® into the receiver's front-panel USB input, you'll be flicking through your albums, artists, and playlists in a few seconds. If you've got lots of music on your iPod, you'll love the dedicated "Search" and "Return" keys that simplify your search when you want to hear a particular song or album. Your device will charge faster too, thanks to the 1-amp output of the USB port. Music control for Android If you store your music on an Android device, go to the Android market and download Kenwood's free Music Control app. You'll enjoy a variety of search and playback features when your phone is plugged into the front-panel USB port. Need more options? If you're addicted to Pandora® Internet radio on your iPhone®, you'll appreciate the built-in controls that allow you to scroll through your Pandora® stations, bookmark songs, and give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down right from the receiver's face. The front-panel auxiliary input offers an instant connection for a portable satellite radio or another sound source. Last but not least, you can play all kinds of CDs, even discs that you've loaded with MP3 and WMA files. Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Kenwood stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and this Kenwood, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters. Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities.

MOSFET Amplifier: The Kenwood KDC-BT652U is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. The power output specs for the KDC-BT652U are as follows: Full Bandwidth Power: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20-20kHz, 1% THD) Maximum Output Power: 50 watts x 4 channels 3-Way Rotary Volume Control: The CD receiver uses a 3-way rotary volume control that increases and decreases the volume of the stereo from 0 to 35. The rotary knob also controls other audio settings such as Balance, Fader, Bass, Mid, Treble and preset EQ settings. In addition, the rotary knob allows you to scroll through and select your music tracks when the Music Search function is activated. Volume Offset: The level of each source may be independently adjusted to prevent radical leaps in output volume when switching from one source to another. The available settings range from -8 to 0 (-8 to +8 for Aux source). Speaker Settings: The Speaker Setting function tailors the System Q Sound Control settings according to the type of speakers in your vehicle. You may select a Speaker Setting of 'SP-Off' (flat/off), 'SP-OEM' (for OEM factory speaker systems), 'SP-6x9/6' (for systems with 6" and 6"x9" speakers), or 'SP-5/4' (for systems with 4" and 5" speakers). Preset EQ: Eight EQ curves are preset into memory, allowing you to recall the best preset EQ curve for different types of music. Each preset has its own level settings for bass (100Hz), midrange (1kHz), and treble (12.5kHz). You can choose from the following preset EQ curves - Rock, Pops, Easy, Top 40, Jazz, Natural, Game, and User. Bass Boost: In addition, The Kenwood CD receiver features a Bass Boost control that can be set to the following levels (BB1, BB2 or Off). Loudness: This function enhances low and high frequencies to make the sound clearer lower volumes. There are 3 levels (LV1, LV2, or Off). Source Tone Memory: This feature allows you to store System Q bass, middle and treble tone settings for each source (CD, AM/FM, Aux, USB, iPod, and Pandora). Supreme Setting: When MP3 or WMA files encoded at a low bit rate (less than 96 kbps, 44.1k, 48kHz) are played, the Supreme Setting function restores their high frequencies so the sound quality is closer to files encoded at a high bit rate. The processing is optimized for the compression format and the bit rate used. When the Supreme Setting is Off, the unit plays the original sound stored in the audio file. 6ch/2.5V Preamp Outputs: The KDC-BT652U features front, rear and subwoofer 2.5-volt preamp outputs.

Front & Rear High-Pass Filter: The KDC-BT652U features an independent High-Pass Crossover for the front & rear channels when your front & rear speakers are connected by the unit's speaker-outputs or preamp-outputs. You can adjust the high-pass crossover from "Through", 100, 120, or 150 Hz. The "Through" selection is a full-range setting. This feature is very helpful when you have smaller-type speakers in the front and larger-type speakers installed in the rear of the vehicle. Subwoofer Controls: The Kenwood KDC-BT652U offers the following subwoofer controls, when you have the unit's subwoofer preamp output activated.

The sound and quality of this receiver are very good. I had difficulty getting my phone to pair with the bluetooth function. It took a 45 minute helping hand from one of Crutchfield's very capable techs. Without his help, I never would have got it to pair. The iPod control function is overly complicated and cumbersome to use. The lighting of the receiver is very visible at night, but very hard to see during the day. These small issues do not detract from the good sound and the very usable controls (iPod usage excepted). For the money, this is a very hard receiver to beat. Pros: Good quality build Good sound Good basic controls Looks good on the dash Cons: Readout display is hard to see during the day iPod controller is not user friendly User Manual is poorly written and sometimes confusing Was this review helpful?

Great radio HU and great customer support. Only problem was not a Crutchfield issue. It was the user manual of the unit by Kenwood. For God sake if you are going to sell in the USA get a manual that can write on the language. Half the instructions were very poorly organized and very difficult to follow. The other half were not much better. Typical when someone was thinking in Chinaese and trying to put it done in English.

I am very pleased with the features and sound quality of this Kenwood unit. My CRV had an after market Alpine unit installed when I purchased it and I wanted Bluetooth capability added for a low cost. The Kenwood was the perfect solution.

KDC-BT652U dramatically improved my Nissan Sentra stereo system. The price and sound quality is great for the price. It doesn't have all of the fancy color schemes, but I wasn't interested in that. I was raving about this unit until I tested the built-in microphone. The people who called me described the background noise like driving on the freeway with your windows down... except my windows weren't down and I was driving 30mph. Since there are no pre-outs on the back of the unit for an external microphone, I'm returning the KDC-BT652U and upgrading for a better microphone. Pros: Excellent sound for the price. Cons: Microphone picks up too much background noise. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I would have given 5 stars but the wire harness that was sent with original order was wrong. The harness was for a 2002 S10 but didnt fit my truck. After calling a Crutchfield cutomer service person, I explained my problem but the representative had no answer except "it should fit". I asked him to send me the one for a 2001 S10,which he agreed to do, and it solved the problem. The truck is a 2002 model but was built in 2001. Crutchfield should take note of this. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 Great choice! Written By David, Alabama on Saturday, January 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed this in my 2004 F-150 to replace the stock cd player. I wanted something with an aux interface; I figured the Bluetooth would be gravy because I had read some trouble reports with some folks' phones. I got the unit in (the included kit was easy to use -- I soldered the wires together and it was very neat and clean once I zip-tied it all together) and tested pairing up my phone (Samsung Galaxy S II). It paired up just fine and I was able to make a test call and play music. Both worked just fine. Just for kicks I tested Pandora. It worked just fine over Bluetooth, too! The like/dislike buttons didn't work, but that's no big deal. I'm just tickled that I don't have to use my aux cable (except for with my ipod). This seems to be a good head unit for the money. I have other Kenwood radio products and I knew the quality would be high. Pros: Bluetooth Radio Data (Station/Track info) Cons: Dimmer doesn't really dim it at all -- I wish there was a connection to my truck's dimmer control. Was this review helpful?

Awesome head unit, bluetooth integration works great, syncs great with my iphone, front usb and aux cable are awesome and very good sound quality Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 Not so great with Android. Written By Ed D, Princeton, NJ on Saturday, December 15, 2012 Purchased this unit to replace an older JVC that didn't have Bluetooth. Was also interested in streaming Pandora from my Android to the unit. The BT audio works, but you can't use the "Pandora Radio" functionality unless you have an iPhone plugged into the USB. You can still use Pandora on an Android through BT, but only in BT audio mode, which means no artist or song ID on the unit. It only says "BT Audio" all the time. You can still skip forward to a next track, which is nice. Getting a refurb unit for $110 was a deal. Not sure if it would be worth it at normal retail, when for about $20 more you can get the 752 would have the Pandora radio functions that would work properly with Android, as well as HD radio. Pros: Internal Mic for HF phone works great. Easy to set up and use. Sounds great. Cons: Pandora radio only works with Apple product that is plugged into USB. No HD radio. Was this review helpful?

Great look, nice features. Not so easy to use. Needs "quick buttons" for sources (uses a "source" button that has to be repeatedly pushed to reach desired source). No quick "on/off" button. Round knob is for volume but also doubles as "function" button when pushed which is counter-intuitive to typical "on/off" feature when pushed. Pros: Lot's of features for the money; nice look Cons: Not so user-friendly; some fancy features limited (e.g. i-Phone compatibility only) 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 2 out of 5 Bluetooth not very good Written By dave, phoenix, az on Monday, October 29, 2012 I bought this unit hoping to bring my car's audio system into this decade, with iPod control and Bluetooth streaming and handsfree. Unfortunately, I found out that using multiple devices (an IPod and phone) is too much to ask of the system. On the majority of factory radios, you get in and the radio knows that you want to use the IPod for music and the phone for handsfree calls. The Kenwood KDC-BT652U requests that you choose EVERY single time which device you will use for music and which you will use for calling. It has no memory for preferences. Pros: Quick to set up Cons: Doesn't remember settings for bluetooth 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This unit has what I was looking for, a little more power, USB input, Remte control and Aux Input. I wanted to connect my XM radio through my stereo unit and not the FM modulator(when traveling must change stations) It has a clearer sound using the Aux Input. I loaded a lot of songs on a thumb drive and they play through the USB input, very nice. Pros: Inputs - Aux and USB, power, remote control Cons: can be a little difficult to adjust playback variations for USB, may need to refer to manual a few times. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 3 out of 5 Not Bad Written By mike o, greeley co on Monday, October 15, 2012 I bought this for my wifes birthday, the idea was to build her a mobile office since she is in sales and always on the road meeting clients. I was replacing a Kenwood that i had purchased when i first got the car about three years ago. The install was a pain due to partially my approach of breaking the required tabs on the universal mount. The second issue was the wiring harness that was sent would not connect to the car, the saving grace was the fact that i was replacing a kenwood and just used the old wiring harness. The stereo is great and has a lot of great features compared to the old kenwook, Bluetooth can be a bit tempermental and would require removing the pairing from both the receiver and our iphones. Streaming over bluetooth is amazing and works great, this is the stereo you should get if that is what you are looking for. I was looking for a solution to do hands free calling and this does not seem to meet that need. While the car is not moving, there are a lot of echoing and sounds slow. When the car is in motion, all you can hear is a lot of background noise and can not hear her voice at all. Overall i think this is a great device but not what i was looking for. Pros: great device, streams music over bluetooth amazingly and has a lot of great features that make this a great buy. Cons: very poor hands free calling. laggy and echos while car is stationary. While the car is in motion, it is absolutely worthless. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Crutchfield Team! Written By Ruben, Hot Springs, AR on Thursday, September 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great! I love the options. The best part of the whole experience was how helpful the Tech support team is. This system was actually pretty easy to install, but I called the tech people 3 times to varify that I was doing it right. Yes I am one of those guys. They were patient and extremly knowledgeable with every aspect of the installation and set up.

Plugged it in and everything worked right away as advertised, blue tooth and all. More than I hoped for! Pros: Plays my itunes or Pandora either by blue tooth or plugged in. Answers phone calls from multiple cell phones that are paired, which is great since my son also uses the car, so either of our phones works when we get in.

Kids got this for me for fathers day because THEY didn't like the existing unit in my car. I was less than excited when I read that Pandora and Bluetooth were. Compatible with iPhone only but what the heck...I installed anyway. Much to my surprise my blackberry torch synced right up and works great. Only issue is Pandora must be streamed from the Bb vs using the USB cord therefore the thumbs up and down buttons on the deck don't work. You can update the decks firmware and this could fix the Pandora thing but I'm in no hurry to try it. If you want a deck with the latest technology on a budget, don't pass this deal up! Pros: Price, features, ease of use/sync Cons: Pandora not perfect with blackberry but docs don't claim that it should be. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Rockin Rog, Desperate, Ontario Canada. on Saturday, June 23, 2012 At first I was having issues with Bluetooth connectivity. What was happening was the unit wasn't auto connecting after I turned my truck off however the unit was enabling BT. Was back to square one as this was the sole reason I swapped out my perfectly good Sony Car Stereo. Was thinking that my new Motorola RAZR Cell Phone from Rogers Canada was the issue because I had recently had warranty done to it after it wouldn't power on. Anyhow I headed over to Kenwood.ca and found under the support tab that there was a firmware update for the stereo that had fixes for bluetooth issues. After applying the update I was in like flint....the stereo works jack now..auto connects, streams audio flawless, phone conversations are great, downloaded my phone contacts and has a cool name display when people call. I also like that Kenwood used the line display lcd instead of what most other car stereos have which resembles a washed out liquid crystal that appears dull and washed out. If you need to update the firmware you need to download the file onto a computer, burn it to a blank CD, place the CD into your car stereo and press the settings button to a certain menu to apply the update. These instructions are clearly printed out out in the file you download and is easy to do. Pros: Bluetooth, Price, Appearance, Clarity, Firmware Updates, Cons: Had to update firmware by burning the update to a CD only, couldn't simply flash from a USB memory stick. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I will give a 5 of 5, but I wish the clock would display when you have the song title playing. Or the full song title displayed then go to the clock. Other than that, this is the best car stereo I have purchased. I used to purchase by salesman suggestions. No More! I will purchase by reviews. That is what decided this (these) purchase. I was so pleased with the one I put in my work truck I replaced my JVC crap in my personal car. The only problem I had was the one for my car had a problem with the RCA jacks. (very bad static) My car has two amps one for the deck , one for the band-pass sub. I thought I did something wrong and went over everything two times. Then I thought to swap work truck with car deck. Truck, no RCA plug-ins. The deck worked great in my car, no static and the one put in the truck, sounds great due to no use of the RCA's. I am very happy with my purchase. I don't think because you have a couple little problems the rating should be lower. I also called Crutchfield "tech support" and they conferred that the deck is probably the problem and to send it back. After i did the deck swap I have no need unless is fails further, which I'm sure it won't. Great customer service and will definitely purchase from Crutchfield again. Pros: Great sound, all kinds of features I can't even use. Tight sound with or without a separate amplifier. Cons: I would like a clock display no matter what device or mode you are using. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By TMG, Bay Area, CA on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am no audiophile, so not qualified to talk about sound quality. It seems adequate to me. I bought this stereo because 1) it connects to my ipod / ipod touch - which is does admirably. and 2) because it has built-in bluetooth, which appeals to me because my BT headset is always out of batteries when i need it. Sadly, the BT connection is awful, it connects one time out of 10, the rest of the time it just connects then disconnects repeatedly, my phone buzzing away in my pocket with notifcations. I have read the manual, tried everything in there, and still no result. Its a mystery. Sometimes deleting the device then reconnecting work, sometimes starting the pairing from my phone works, sometimes starting the pairing from the device works... in general, the bluetooth part of the stereo simply does not work. I don't think that I have a bad unit, i just think the unit is badly designed Apart from that, its great, but I feel that a large part of the value proposition is missing As far as installation goes, its easy with the harness supplied by Crutchfield. My advice - throw away all your different types of connectors, crimps, caps etc, and learn to use a soldering iron when joining the wires together. There is nothing worse than finally getting the stereo in place only to find one of the speakers doesn't work because a cheap butt connector came loose. Pros: Cheap. Great Ipod connectivtiy. Looks acceptable Cons: The bluetooth connectivity reconnects constantly. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Well worth the money, especially for the craftsmanship and quality provided by Kenwood!!! Pros: 3 pre-jack outputs to control and separate the lows from the mids and highs; multiple combinations for tuning your system for the perfect sound. The Bluetooth is very simple to operate and hands free with the sound coming through the speakers, delivering the same clarity as the Pandora internet radio.

Cons: The remote control is tooo small, its made for little kids; the face of the unit could be tilted upward for improved viewing; Pushing the tiny Source button for power off/on is ridiculous but it seems most of the new radios have a similar design.

I like this unit, it is great. When I open the hatch of my jeep and put a thumb drive in the USB port of the stereo, I can control the system with the remote while I do other things at the rear of my jeep. I have not had the oputunity to try the blue tooth yet, so I have no review on it. Pros: The remote make it easy to control the stereo whithout taking your eyes off the road. It has a lot of useful features and setttings. Cons: It does not automatically switch to radio when you take out the CD, also you have to push the source button a number of time to get to the radio function. The delay between functions is a little long. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Nothing but problems with cd reader Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 Overall Great stereo with some flaws Written By Justin R, Davenport, IA on Tuesday, March 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall a great stereo. Install went smooth, and setup is easy if you have the manual to follow. The display is very clean and easy to read, if not a little to bright, even on the dim setting. Bluetooth synchs up well, and sounds great with hands-free calling and audio streaming from my android phone. My only complaints are the radio reception, and the display options. Stations that came in clear on my OEM stereo are staticy or don't come in at all with this stereo. This isn't a big deal to me since I now stream most of my music from my phone, but still a little annoying. My other problem is the display button and options. The button to change between artist/title, station name/frequency, or clock, is very small (in fact the smallest button on the stereo) and there is no corresponding button on the remote, so your forced to find this little button and press it 3 - 4 times every time you want to see what time it is or what station your on. As mentioned in the other review (and another annoyance) you can only see either the text displays OR the clock, not both at the same time. Pros: Bluetooth synchs great and sounds great. Easy installation and setup. Cons: Tuner reception is low, display button is small and hard to press and only displays clock OR radio text. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Brent Bookwalter of the BMC Racing Team was inducted into the Lees-McRae College Athletic Hall of Fame Friday as part of the college's homecoming festivities.
Seven-Time Collegiate Champion
Bookwalter graduated from Lees-McRae in 2006 after winning seven collegiate mountain biking titles for the Bobcats. As a senior, the Grand Rapids, Mich., native also won the U.S. national Under 23 time trial championship. This season, Bookwalter finished both the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia and was second in the opening time trial of the Giro. He also placed third in the prologue of the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah presented by Zions Bank.
Fellow Inductees
Joining Bookwalter in the Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremonies were tennis player Randy Bloemendaal ('92), NAIA basketball All-American Robin Scott ('95) and the late Robert G. Ball ('82), who played in the NFL. The inductees were honored at a Hall of Fame Dinner on the Lees-McRae campus.

Historically, the spatialisation of sound in concert listening situations has been realised manually. Research, informed to a significant degree by the possibilities offered by recent computer hardware and software, as well as an increased interest in the use of multitrack formats (which create practical problems in manual spatialisation and frequently exhibit innovative aesthetic approaches to spatialisation), has developed various means of automating some or all aspects of the way sonic material is presented spatially. This may range from a musician programming spatial strategies for a piece in an object-oriented environment such as Max/MSP or in the development of specific and dedicated hardware/software solutions such as the Richmond Sound Design Audiobox.

Lives of Louisa May Alcott and her family the subject of recent books
SALISBURY — Children reading about the March family in Louisa May Alcott's novel "Little Women" are also learning about Louisa's own Alcott family during the Civil War and life in New England. Older readers can revisit the March/Alcott family in several recently published books focusing on the relationship of Louisa and her parents, and intellectual life in 19th-century America.
Eve LaPlante is the author of "Marmee & Louisa: The Untold Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Mother," and of a companion volume, "My Heart is Boundless: Writings of Abigail May Alcott, Louisa's Mother."
LaPlante is a great-niece of Abigail and a first cousin of Louisa. The discovery in a trunk of a cache of letters and journals (supposedly burned) written by Abigail led to a series of discoveries in scattered archival collections, which provided a window into Louisa May Alcott's portrait of her family.
It seems that Louisa's childhood was much harsher than that of the March family in "Little Women." Bronson Alcott was a brilliant, outspoken idealist, but as a husband and father, he fell short. The marriage was marked by conflict, long absences and a refusal to work for money. Divorce was discussed.
Abigail filled in for her absent husband and supported the family by becoming a social worker and an employment agent. She encouraged a very young Louisa to write and shared her own girlhood journals with her daughter. (Abigail had a surprisingly happy life growing up.) Abigail was confidant of her child's talent; Bronson was troubled by the "darker temperament" Louisa shared with his wife.
LaPlante concludes Louisa incorporated her mother's younger, happier life into "Little Women," into the portrait of Jo. Louisa saved her own girlhood troubles for her later, more adult novels.
Two other books focus on Louisa and her father and their close circle of friends. "Eden's Outcasts," by John Matteson, tells the story of Bronson Alcott and Louisa, of their father-daughter relationship and as adults, living lives inspired by ideas of writing and reform.
Bronson's utopian ventures failed but the Alcott family's living drama was turned into Louisa's literary success with the publication of "Little Women." And, to his credit, Bronson finally appreciated his daughter. For her part, she was steadfast through his stroke and life as an invalid.
"The Concord Quartet: Alcott, Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau, and the Friendship That Freed the American Mind," by Samuel A. Schreiner, recreates the drama of the four men's lives. It's the story of "friendship in action": of shared everyday life and a powerful philosophical conviction that "the soul had inherent power to grasp the truth" and that "the truth would make men free."

Harty: String Quartets & Piano Quintet
2CDs for the price of 1 Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads availableCDA67927
Movement 1: Allegro
Movement 2: Vivace
Movement 3: Lento
Movement 4: Allegro con brio
Harty's Quintet is a bold, big-boned, passionate work of symphonic proportions and stands happily beside those large-scale Romantic utterances of Schumann, Brahms, Dvorák, César Franck, Fauré, Stanford and (later) Elgar in the same genre. This is music on a grand scale, full of melodic invention, where the idiom of piano and string quartet, susceptible to hybrid treatment, is dexterously manipulated polyphonically and antiphonally. With his established reputation as a pianist, Harty gave full prominence to the piano so that at times it competes with the strings like a concerto soloist.
Harty's concept of the first movement is indeed largely orchestral. A rhythmically dynamic idea, presented in unison by the strings, gives way to a spacious composite theme shared among the instruments and surrounded by elaborate filigree. In a manner akin to Schubert, this extended paragraph closes in F and yields to an equally generous second subject, a pentatonic, folk-inspired melody in the subdominant, by now a common choice in the tonal organization of Harty's sonata schemes. This extended section also closes unequivocally in B flat, but not before Harty has subjected the self-developing theme to a colourful, not to say dramatic series of modulations which passes through the Neapolitan B major, and its dominant F sharp. The recovery from D flat major, established at the development's climax, is impressively executed, and the restatement of the second subject, appropriately in D flat, is imaginatively handled as Harty uses the return to F, in turbulent mood, as a fresh means of thematic reworking. The restoration of the tonic is marked by triumphal piano fanfares, displaced from their normal position in the recapitulation, a strident manner later subdued by the tranquil interjections of the string quartet which set the tone for the reflective coda (in which the viola plays a conspicuous role on its lowest, most sonorous string).
For the principal theme of his scherzo (assigned yet again to the viola), Harty resorted once more to a synthetic pentatonicism to create an 'Irish' theme, though this time the character of his material has a striking affinity with the arrangements of popular folk melodies by Percy Grainger. This is felt not only in the panache of the instrumentation—which is remarkably rich and vibrant, not least in the use of pizzicato—but also in the use of vigorous diatonic harmony, quirky modulations and countermelodies for which Grainger was renowned (in works such as Shepherd's Hey, Handel in the Strand and the Irish reel Molly on the Shore). Harty's structure, a beautifully crafted sonata, is also highly adroit, much skill being invested in the entertaining dialogue between piano and quartet in the development and in the playful and unexpected tonal divergencies.
If an Irish flavour is evident in the scherzo, then it is palpable in the expressive heart of the work, the slow movement in A minor. Though no genuine Irish tune is quoted, Harty's material throughout the movement is infused with a persistent flattened seventh (of the relative major, C)—a feature of Irish folk music—which pervades both the melody and the harmony. Harty had already demonstrated a fondness for elaborate melodic decoration in his 'Irish' Symphony, a work which won the Feis symphony prize in 1904, but here it is even more abundantly apparent in the use of mordents, rapid scales and modal inflection. Morever, in this context, Harty makes fertile use of the 'double tonic' phenomenon as the lengthy thematic material switches tantalizingly back and forth between A minor and C major. Concluding in C major, the first subject utilizes the flattened seventh enharmonically (the B flat being written as A sharp) enabling, through an augmented sixth, a deft modulation to E major for the second subject. This second subject, even more so than the first, is extensively self-developing, in the manner of Tchaikovsky's sweeping thematic paragraphs. Introduced by the viola, it is initially presented against a background of countermelody at which Harty excelled, but at its grand, extrovert reprise—the use of a heroic 6–4 chord, the scoring for strings in multiple octaves, and the intensity of the triplet accompaniment—it is even more reminiscent of the Russian.
In the last movement of the Quintet, Harty's predilection for Russian music is confirmed in the lively second subject (which he must have unconsciously gleaned from Tchaikovsky's first Piano Concerto) and in the highly unconventional episode in B flat minor that forms the centrepiece of the development; both ideas give the finale a burlesque character that is even more accentuated in the impetuous coda. This propensity for the exotic, as well as for vibrant instrumental colour, would feature time and again in Harty's later work, and would also affirm his fascination for other late nineteenth-century Russians, such as Musorgsky, Lyapunov, Balakirev and Rimsky-Korsakov, who featured in his programmes as a conductor.

(SportsNetwork.com) - Denver Broncos coach John Fox was taken to a North Carolina hospital Saturday after complaining of lightheadedness during a golf outing, the team said.
Fox was transported via ambulance to a Charlotte-area hospital from the golf course, the Broncos said.
The team didn't release details of Fox's condition but FoxSports.com reported he would have a procedure on his aortic valve Tuesday in North Carolina.
Fox will remain in the state for two weeks and miss a month to six weeks of the season, according to the report.
FoxSports.com's NFL reporter Jay Glazer said he spoke with Fox, who said he was scheduled to have the procedure in the offseason but held off. Fox said his condition deteriorated faster than expected.
Fox hadn't yet determined who would take over as acting head coach, according to the report.
An initial report from ESPN cited sources saying Fox was experiencing symptoms associated with a heart attack, which was later denied by the Broncos' media relations director.
"Denver Broncos head coach John Fox was taken to a Charlotte-area hospital after feeling light-headed while playing golf on Saturday," the Broncos said in a statement. "He is being held at the hospital for testing and further observation. Our medical staff is currently in contact with coach Fox, his family and the doctors who are treating him. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available."
Fox was in North Carolina with the Broncos currently on their bye week. The 58-year-old spent nine seasons as the head coach of the Carolina Panthers before not having his contract renewed by the team following the conclusion of the 2010 season.
He was hired by the Broncos in January 2011 and guided Denver to a 13-3 record and the top seed in the AFC playoffs during his second season at the helm.
Denver has gotten off to a 7-1 start in 2013 and currently sits a game back of undefeated Kansas City in the AFC West standings.

If I was a famous author I would publish a book with ten different endings which all went to print with varying degrees of rarity, but not tell the fans about it so that I could watch their confusion as they disagree over how the story ended. Then when they figured it out I would 'come clean', telling them that I had released eleven alternate endings and watch them panic again as they all try to find the last ending.
