Isn't Tenney using 72 because he's writing for regular guitars? When he
wants to use just, Tenney is not afraid to use it. His just 2nd Wind Quintet
was really tough to play and I hope we have another chance. If Paul is
suggesting that this is a stand in for just for Tenney, maybe. I haven't
heard the piece.
