Commissioned by the Princeton-Columbia Electronic Music Center for Speculum Musicae in 1981. The first movement, In Preparation, is a study in tuning and intonation and is based on the open strings in perfectly tuned fifths, with the violins D string tuned 294 hertz. The first moments of the piece provide opportunity to tune to the tape part. (This tuning probably differs imperceptibly from a tempered tuning since the E string of the violin is only 1/33 of a semitone sharper then in a tempered system and the C strings of the viola and cello 1/33 of a semitone flatter.) Most subsequent pitches in the movement are either the open strings or major and minor thirds above and below the open strings. The minor thirds will be slightly sharp with respect to equal tempered tuning about 15 cents or 1/6 of a semitone and the major thirds will be slightly flat about 14 cents, or one seventh of a semitone. Listen to the tape part as a guide. All harmonics in this movement are to be played as natural harmonics and open strings are to be used whenever possible. In the second movement, At a Distance, the tape part largely doubles selected pitches in the string parts and should be thought of as a backdrop rather then counterpart. In this and the remaining movements equal tempered tuning is used though it will probably not be necessary to retune the instruments for this reason alone. The third movement, In Practice, is a study in modes of performance particularly with respect to rhythmic rigidity and flexibility. While the tape part may seem to bend and sway a great deal, the string parts are to be played with as much rhythmic precision as possible. At many points it may be necessary to delay or anticipate beats in order to coincide with the arrival of beats in the tape part, though in general the quarter equals 120 is accurate. In the fourth movement, In Distinction, different kinds of musical conceptions are counter-pointed and counter-posed. Here the beat is quite accurate although the notation of the synthetic saxophone part is only approximate. All the tape parts are based on computer reprocessed violin except for parts of the fourth movement in which synthetic saxophone is used. The tape part was synthesized on the IBM 3033 and 3081 computers at Princeton University and converted at the Winham Laboratory. The violin source was performed by Cyrus Stevens.Commissioned by the Princeton-Columbia Electronic Music Center for Speculum Musicae in 1981.

This mysterious hunt for ancient artifacts reveals important new pedagogical concepts, including staccato, accents, bow-lifts, pizzicato, dynamics, 4th finger, and natural symbols without using low-2 finger patterns. Composed in B minor, the piece features intriguing modal shifts while avoiding extended fingerings. Sudden and dramatic dynamic changes add excitement as students can work on bow placement, speed, and weight to achieve the desired volume. Violin 2 doubles viola and cello doubles bass for a full sound with only a little third position shifting in the bass. The piano part can be added to support the ensemble in both rehearsal and performance. A skill-building concert selection designed to help developing string players feel confident and successful!.This mysterious hunt for ancient artifacts reveals important new pedagogical concepts, including staccato, accents, bow-lifts, pizzicato, dynamics, 4th finger, and natural symbols without using low-2 finger patterns.

As If is Paul Lansky at the genesis of his computer music powers. Here he explores the relationship between pre-recorded and live performers, forcing a re-examination of the concepts of both composition and performance. Lansky worked with an early IBM computer (1981) for As If, a far cry from the powerful computers and complex algorithms he would later create.
