Intrumentalists included Heifetz and Marguerite Long, while the lighter side of music was represented by Arthur Fiedler's Boston Pops, Albert Sandler and Marek Weber.</span></span></div> <div><span class="Black_Text"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;" class="Black_Text"> </span></span></div> <div><span class="Black_Text"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;" class="Black_Text"> </span></span></div> <div><span class="Black_Text"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;" class="Black_Text">In those days, artists left relatively small legacies (when compared to figures such as Karajan).
