I know they mentioned he had arranged one of the pieces) I have no answer but find that quite interesting. I've only heard Rzewski's piano works. Has he ever written for orchestra? -- or does he have someone orchestrate for him? Haven't heard of many composers that do that -- not saying it is good or bad -- or that he even does that. Would just be somewhat unique if he did so. (Does anyone know if both Spots and Natural Things were both orchestrated by Richard Adams, composer and founder of Opus 21?

I have no answer but find that quite interesting. I’ve only heard Rzewski’s piano works. Has he ever written for orchestra? — or does he have someone orchestrate for him? Haven’t heard of many composers that do that — not saying it is good or bad — or that he even does that. Would just be somewhat unique if he did so.
