Additional info/contents	Erickson wrote Air in 1956 and revised it in 1966; it is simple in conception, with A and B sections leading to a climactic coda. It was one of the first original (as in the non-transcription) slow and pretty pieces that could be played by young bands. As such it showed the way for future composers to explore phrasing and delicate playing with younger players.
