So I interpret from this the original composition was 1947 and the work was revised in 1954. <BR/><BR/>Can any other readers confirm this?Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-1141319489548458342006-03-02T17:11:00.000+00:002006-03-02T17:11:00.000+00:00thank you.
