Thanks, and no, unfortunately I haven't obtained the sheet music for it yet. I've been working on other pieces.

Varese was commissioned to write a piece for the first performance of a platinum flute. The density of platinum is 21.5 grams/cc which is why he named it so.

You know, I don't post this stuff for my health, folks, I post it for you. If you shut up your bitching and start reading, you COULD possibly learn something. I already know the s-hit.
Who's bitching? No need to be condescending.
