Q: You’ve been known to go back and redo some of your work. If you go back to rewrite anything now, what might you do next?
A: It’s not a “might” but a certainty. I need to put oboe in L’Histoire du Soldat. The omission of oboe is a serious flaw in the work. You might be interested to know, too, that I would still like to complete my concerto for English horn.
