   Mr. Pleskow writes:
   
   Per Vege Viene was written in the Summer of 1970.  The title is
   dedicatory.

   The first movement of the two-movement work consists essentially of
   the alternation of three basic activities: 1) chords and long notes;
   2) rapid 16th note movement; 3) diversifies thematic material in a
   canonic relationship between violin and piano.  These three events
   are engaged in constantly changing textural, rhythmic and syntactical
   relationships.  The basic pitch material for both movements is the
   two chords of parallel construction with which the piece begins.

   The second movement is in essence a retelling of the first in a more
   compressed and sparser format.  The work received its first performance
   at Carneige Recital Hall by Lewis Kaplan, violinist and Walter Ponce,
   pianist in 1971.
