Hi Ken & GBK:
Glad I could offer a little assistance.
I do think it could go either way and still be OK with Copland.
He was a very sweet guy and very much enjoyed the Concerto, both as a listener and as a conductor.
BTW:
Carter Burwell was so impressed by the movie score to the flop, "Love & Money", that he wrote a film score using Copland's orchestration; (cl,stgs,harp,etc), and I played it for his HBO special on AIDS. The film was "And The Band Played On", it was the first CD put out by HBO, and it's a terrific piece.
I don't know if it's available, but it sure would be a nice "new" Concerto to follow the Copland!
Regards,
JJM
