Lukas Foss - 1 September, 1981
from Letter from Lukas Foss to Leonard Bernstein, Sept 1981, page 546:
Halil arrived this morning. What a moving piece. As an x-flutist (I used to play well at 15) I enjoy the flute writing, and I love the Alto Flute’s role. The end reminds me of the 1st version of the Age of Anxiety with that reentry for one chord, here it is reentry for 2 notes. It works though and if I can’t get Rampal or Galway to play it with me, I’ll have 1st flute in Milwaukee learn it (she is wonderful).
