Premiere: Composers Alliance of San Antonio (CASA) Concert, San Antonio, Texas (November, 2003)
Review
From a review of the premiere performance by Diane Windeler in the San Antonio Express-News:
"Baby Toys is a delightful, impish percussion score for rattles, squeaky things, electronic gizmos and nursery-version musical instruments, written for this concert by David Heuser of the University of Texas at San Antonio. There was actually coherent structure and form to it, performed by conductor Heuser and four musicians sitting cross-legged on a carpet strewn with kids' room clutter." [1]
