	(1996) This is a piece written for, yes, a TOY piano. There have been many pieces written in this genre, starting with John Cage's famous ones... Here we have a performance by the renowned Toy Piano virtuoso Wendy Mae Chambers, who requested the work. Ms. Chambers is also known for her authoritative performances on the Car Horn Organ, which she invented (yes, REAL car horns)... Excerpt is the first, third and fourth movements. The *second* movement involves chance operations and the throwing of dice. A performance by Joseph Pehrson of the piece took place at the DOM concert space in Moscow on a rather "substandard" toy piano, so the Chambers performance is still the "definitive" recording. Score available from Composers Concordance, P.O. Box 20548 PABT, NYC 10129 or e-mail: info@composersconcordance.org.
	CD: Recording available through Composers Concordance, address above. Wendy Mae Chambers commercial recording planned.
	Story Behind the Song This piece has four movements with the following titles: I. Digit, II. Ring of Chance (a long movement omitted from this short sample recording), III.Parlor Mirror (involving exact mirror counterpoint) and IV. Motor Toy
