When? Where? Open to the public? Do I need to join a special inner circle to hear this? Do well, and I hope to hear this new piece sometime soon

Daniel,
You've done an excellent job of summarizing twelve-tone and serial techniques and their historical origins. Your lists of representative composers are excellent highlighting the most significant contributors both in Europe and the US.
Thank you for offering to take on the task of premiering the "Madison Sketchbook" this April. It's not an easy work and I'm delighted to have found in you a sensitive but athletic pianist able to take on the challenge.
You're quite right: stylistically, the sketchbook consists of pieces conceived in the romantic tradition but built on an intensely chromatic foundation. Your incredible ability to correctly identify the retrograde inversion of the original tone-row while listening to the piece for the first time floored me. I know you'll do a wonderful job at the performance.
Best wishes,
John
