IN August 1953 the astonishing young American pianist William Kapell traveled to Australia for an extended tour. Over 14 weeks he played 37 concerts, both solo recitals and concertos. On his return trip to New York, where his wife of five years and their young son and daughter were awaiting him, the DC-6 Kapell was flying in clipped a forested mountain 35 miles south of San Francisco, plunged into a ridge and fell apart in flames. All 19 people aboard died. Kapell was 31.
