Sessions made the audience laugh when he - unconsciously or purposely? - passed his hand over his mostly bald head while the text spoke of the soldier's hair standing on end. <BR/><BR/>Speculum Musicae, the renowned New York new music group, played. In the audience at that concert was pianist Robert Miller - the last time I saw him before his premature death of cancer at age 50. Miller was a leading pianist on the New York contemporary music scene for many years.

In the Times article, Carter speaks of yet another all-star performance of the piece, this one with John Cage as the devil. <BR/><BR/>good wishes, <BR/><BR/>Jim Primosch <BR/>-- <BR/>Dr. James Primosch <BR/>Robert Weiss Professor of Music <BR/>Department of Music <BR/>University of PennsylvaniaPliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-8676995435063410732007-07-30T20:17:00.000+01:002007-07-30T20:17:00.000+01:00Thanks for finding that--just picked one up from A...Thanks for finding that--just picked one up from Amazon UK.
