Hi,
you might want to check out the new book by Sabine Feisst entitled
Schoenberg's
New World: The American Years.
There is a tiny reference to Hale as one of the American composers
using Schoenberg's method in Hale's "dodecaphonic” piano work
"Evocations" (1961). The book is hefty in content and I
am sure that I am missing a lot by not being a musician, but the over
all is intriguing and informative. Thanks for keeping me apprised of
musical events, Happy New Year! Juanita [Juanita Smith]
