Publisher Desc.  Pandora's Box is a programmatic work depicting the story from Greek Mythology. In this mythological story Pandora, the first woman on Earth, is given a jar (later mistranslated as "box") which she is told not to open. The "box" is filled with what will become the evil of the world. Eventually, curiosity entices her to do what is forbidden, and as soon as she removes the lid, its contents begin to escape. She quickly closes the jar. Unfortunately, it is too late, and hope is all that is left within Pandora's "Box."
