Allan Blank on
'The Category of Dreams:'

"how wonderful it would be if all performing organizations included a minimum of one premiere by an American composer in every one of their programs! More opera, vocal and choral music; radio and TV channels devoted to live performances of new music;' school system that require music instruction from the earliest grades; and finally--but not least, a government that believes in the values of music and unstintingly supports it in all its variety and transformations."

--Letter to Joel Friedman, September, 1997.
