EJR comments: The four ‘landscapes’ alluded to in this work were important surroundings for me when studying during my Wanderjahre. My two summers in the US, 1955 and 1956, were spent at the Tanglewood Music Center, where my teachers were Roger Sessions and Aaron Copland. The following year I went to Ascona, Switzerland, to study with Wladimir Vogel, learning 12-tone technique. Reinergasse 11 is the address of the decayed baroque Palais Schönburg in Vienna [now restored; PK] , where in 1955 I studied life and European culture as much as music [starts at 12´30´]´. West 23rd Street was my last address in New York – the finale of my studies in the US symbolised by a speedy stretta.
