Perhaps the sounds achieved by Walter Carlos may be likened to a “trip through time”... but in any event, it was most generous of the copyright owner to grant the unusual permission to reprint, in Mr. Carlos’ own handwriting, the entire score of "‘Timesteps”, and we respectfully do so on the following pages, in mini-pocket score size.
