EDWIN A. LINK, 77, INVENTED INSTRUMENT FLIGHT SIMULATOR
Edwin A. Link, inventor of the Link flight simulator used to train pilots and other airmen under instrument flying conditions, died of cancer Monday at his home in Binghamton, N.Y. Mr. Link, who was 77 years old, also lived in Fort Pierce, Fla. In an interview in 1958, Mr. Link estimated that his flight simulator had been used in training more than two million airmen, including 500,000 pilots during World War II. The flight simulator used during the war was known as the AN-T-18 Basic Instrument Trainer, called the Blue Box by fledgling pilots. It was standard equipment at every air-training school in the United States and Allied countries.

Art/Architecture; A Lesson Abroad: Get Comfortable With Continuity
NEW YORK architecture is beginning to remind me of art-movie houses in the early 1960s: the best stuff now is coming from overseas. For better or worse, this is a phenomenon. Christian de Portzamparc; Renzo Piano; Aldo Rossi; Jean Nouvel; Sir Norman Foster; Yoshio Taniguchi; Rem Koolhaas; Philippe Starck; and David Chipperfield have all designed projects for New York in recent years. Since Ive given much of this work favorable notice, Im happy to explain my reasons. This is also a good time to explore some of the reasons New York architects are disturbed to see a few high-profile jobs going to their colleagues from abroad.. Herbert Muschamp column explores phenomenon by which foreign architects, including Christian de Portzamparc, Renzo Piano, Aldo Rossi, Jean Nouvel, Yoshio Taniguchi and David Chipperfield, have succeeded in designing postmodern structures for city while American architects, seemingly unable to reconcile history with change, have not; drawings (M)
THE FINE ART OF DIRECTING THE MET MUSEUM
IN AN IMPECCABLY TAILORED gray plaid business suit, Guy-Philippe Lannes de Montebello, to give his full aristocratic name at the outset, receives a visitor in his sunny, spacious office overlooking Fifth Avenue at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As director of the Met, he is entitled to one of the roomier offices off a dim tunnel-like corridor on the mezzanine floor -the museums executive row. The visitor makes the mistake of sitting in a red leather designers chair in front of the large desk, but with a broad gesture, de Montebello beckons him instead to an elegant English-made armchair in the French style, at the side. Come over to my turf, he says. The leather chair, he continues, is a terrible place to sit. It looks as if you were applying for a job. De Montebello is 49, a naturalized United States citizen since 1955, and the eighth man to achieve the directorship of the Met in the museums 115-year history. His tenure so far has been impeccably correct. His exhibition record - a string of gold-plated popular successes like the mammoth India! show currently running - has been made up of noticeable crowd-pleasers. Radio spots and the Acoustiguide tapes that accompany the museums major exhibitions have made his voice, in the public imagination, synonymous with the Met.

CELEBRATING THE STORY OF THE PIANO
On Wednesday at the Metropolitan Museum some 30 pianos of various makes and vintages will be displayed, some for the first time, in an exhibit called Keynotes: Two Centuries of Piano Design that will continue through Nov. 29. The oldest known piano (Bartolomeo Cristofori, 1720, still playable) will be there, as will square, upright, multipedaled and lavishly decorated specimens, along with works of art showing the piano in its various social contexts. Visitors to the exhibit, which was organized by the curator of the Mets Department of Musical Instruments, Laurence Libin, will be able to hear the instruments on an audioguide, but participants in the 25th-anniversary meeting of the Comite International des Musees et Collections dInstruments de Musique (a part of the International Council of Museums) will hear some of them under the fingers of the well-known harpsichordist (and, more recently, fortepianist) Igor Kipnis, in a private recital Tuesday. Mr. Kipnis discussed the program and his new field of keyboard activity by phone the other day from his West Redding, Conn., retreat.

HIGHBROW PIANO COMES TO BRUNCH AT THE BALLROOM
SERGEI RACHMANINOFF will drop in at brunch in the New Ballroom this Sunday to play a Chopin Scherzo. George Gershwin will stop by to show off his Rhapsody in Blue. Josef Lhevinne will turn up to give a glimpse at his interpretation of Beethovens Moonlight Sonata. These long-dead artists will not be heard on recordings. Instead, a Knabe concert grand piano will be played automatically, according to half-century-old instructions left by the artists. Out of this instrument, trills will whir, rubatos will twist melodic lines, and fortissimo chords will ring out. Apart from old recordings - which despite feeble fidelity have their own glory - the sound is the closest we can come to hearing how a master approached the piano a half century ago. The secret to this mechanical seance of sorts is to be found inside and underneath the nine-foot Knabe. It is an AMPICO B Reproducing Mechanism - a complex assembly of electric motor parts, a pneumatic vacuum pump, brass tubings, electrical contacts, levers - an assembly whose complexity exceeds that of the pianistic machine itself. It translates thousands of punched holes in a long roll of paper; they supposedly encode -down to the most minute expressive detail - the playing of a human being.

After Piano and Fortepiano, the Synthesizer?
THE AUTHENTICITY MOVEMENT WAS born under the sign of the avant-garde, all manifesto and rebellion. It is coming to an end in quiet maturity. Indeed, in a recent series of Beethoven piano sonatas played on early instruments at Merkin Concert Hall, the greatest revelation was that there was none. At least in the eight sonatas I heard, Malcolm Bilsons stated ambition to open new paths of thought was only modestly fulfilled. Mr. Bilson, the godfather of the eight-concert, seven-pianist, four-piano series was, as usual, a consummate musician, playing with intelligence and verve, and some of the other pianists were insightful as well, but was anything established that we did not already know? Over the years, modern pianos have proved how inadequate their historical rivals are, and historical instruments have returned the insult. They are both correct. We know, for example, that some of Beethovens pedal markings can be executed only approximately on contemporary instruments and that his sharply etched dynamic changes can sound artificial on the modern Steinway. On the other hand, Russell Shermans penetrating Beethoven performances heard recently at the Miller Theater on the campus of Columbia University and Richard Goodes ever-deepening Beethoven interpretations, to be presented in part later this month at Avery Fisher Hall, would be inconceivable on the lovely five-octave replica of a 1790 Anton Walter fortepiano used at Merkin Hall.

PIANO VIRTUOSOS HOLD CENTER STAGE
THE renowned pianist Abbey Simon, whose recital tonight at 8 in Carnegie Hall comes as part of his 60th birthday celebration, is convinced that the solo performance remains the ultimate test of any artist. I think it is the most illuminating thing that an artist can do, he said the other day. I was brought up in the great tradition of the piano recital. I heard Hofmann, Backhaus, Rachmaninoff, Lhevinne - all great artists -and I believe they achieved their greatest heights not in concertos, but in their recitals. Playing with an orchestra is an exciting experience, its a chance to make an impression and all that. But when all is said and done, were going to judge the artist not on the Rachmaninoff Third, or the Brahms D minor, or Beethovens Emperor, but on how he plays in recital. Its his opportunity to show himself as whatever he is. How else can you judge an artist, or better yet, how can an artist reveal himself more fully, than by playing for an hour and a half up there?
Ravels Piano Style: A Bermuda Triangle
Are performers ready to rediscover Ravel? Of course, Ravel is the most popular composer of the century, and his works have survived years of use and abuse at the center of the piano and orchestral repertories. Constant play has proved the durability of the music but has made it too easy to take its qualities for granted. New piano recordings by Andre Laplante, Christopher ORiley and Alexander Toradze show that for all its popularity, the music remains an elusive mixture of styles and sensibilities. Critics have often assumed that Ravels music is performer-proof. Play what you see, Ned Rorem instructs performers. The notes will take care of themselves. That advice is no more helpful for Ravel than for any other composer. Virgil Thomson claimed that Ravels music was self-evidently about a nonromantic view of life. as if the 19th century had never, save for its technical discoveries, existed. So much for the Lisztian Gaspard de la Nuit, and the evocations of Schubert, Chopin and Schumann in Valses Nobles et Sentimentales.

An Ensemble Attuned to the Pangs of Piano Wires
Whenever an artist produces something so boggling and so inexplicable as to defy more than a cursory understanding at first brush, I am reminded of the science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarkes suggestion that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. There was magic in the air on Thursday evening at the Eyebeam Art and Technology Center in Chelsea, when a new piece by Eli Keszler, L-Carrier, was introduced before a rapt audience. Mr. Keszlers work presents several paradoxes. A percussionist with roots in punk rock and free improvisation, he fuses chaos and order in his drumming: a burble and clatter akin to what European drummers like Tony Oxley and Han Bennink invented in the late 1960s to distinguish their work from American free jazz. Mr. Keszlers penchant for pealing, ringing metal evokes another European percussionist, Eddie Prévost of the English collective AMM..
