This; his latest work; includes such exercises as: * The Cops in the Head and their anti-bodies * The screen image * The image of the future we are afraid of * Image and counter-image ....and many more.

Poorly manufactured bindingBy H. S. GerstenThis is a musical score of a masterwork by one of Americas finest composers. The user should be able to open and close it countless times without any problems. The pages of this edition began to fall out from day one. I ordered 2 replacements; both of which also lost pages very quickly. The books were very poorly glue-bound. Phone calls to the publisher were useless; but was very good about returns.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Not the edition pictured!By Nathan PerryTake note that the Kindle Edition is not the pictured study score for piano and orchestra; instead it is the transcription for solo piano.
