   Mr. Pleskow writes:

   Three Movements for Quintet was composed in the Summer of 1971.

   The three short movements share the same pitch material, and each
   undergoes the rapid changes of texture, activity, ensemble setting
   and juxtaposition of contrasting musical events.

   The work received its first New York performance by the Aeolian Chamber
   Players at a concert in Carneige Recital Hall.  It was subsequently
   performed by the Da Capo Chamber Players and by members of the Group
   for Contemporary Music under the direction of Charles Wuorinen.
   The piece won the fifth annual Bowdoin Chamber Music Competition.
