Message-ID: <1057@eosp1.UUCP> Date: Wed, 15-Aug-84 18:11:32 EDT Article-I.D.: eosp1.1057 Posted: Wed Aug 15 18:11:32 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 16-Aug-84 03:30:54 EDT Organization: Exxon Office Systems, Princeton, NJ Lines: 30 References: In 1964, Eric Regener, at Princeton U., ran a program in Fortran that printed out all 12-tone rows with the following quality: - They each contained all 12 intervals, once. The program ran on a 7094, and used an efficient algorithm to minize the number of possible rows examined. the prinout, using a 1410 and 1403, took many hours. I believe (but I'm not sure), that the data was run for Godfrey Winnim, a composer then using such rows. I may have the composer wrong. I'm not sure where Eric Regener is now, but try Cornell. He might be in the music department, or in inter-disciplinary studies. The Alumni office of the Grad School at Princeton may have his current address. Less likely ways to collect the data are to try Professors Milton Babbitt or Jim Randall, who may have copies, or to contact Bethany Beardsley, who may have the original printout if I have remembered the composer correctly. If anyone does contract Eric regener, pls tell him I said "hello". - Toby Robison (not Robinson!) allegra!eosp1!robison decvax!ittvax!eosp1!robison
