   Mr. Pleskow writes:

   "Written in the Summer of 1967, Pieces for Piano formally consists of
   the alternation of two characteristic segments which undergo variation
   and/or development in their subsequent appearances throughout the work....
   Segment I is characterized bu 'classical' phrase formations in an
   asymmetrical and disjunct sybtax.  Segment II by consecutive and
   simultaneous presntations of elements possessing [specific] temporal
   properties ....  The lengths of the two segments vary greatly in their
   appearances throughout the piece.  The first segment is more prevelent,
   so much so that the formal procedure could be described in terms of
   Segment II being a ritornello reappearing with changes interspersed
   in the main material (Segment I)."
