Linger thereafter with Doug and Dylan, playing Edgar Varese's Hyperprism and the first two numbers of Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach at fairly high volumes,

Psalms, Book IV, Op. 202 - Psalm 98 - composition of 7th system
The Decameron - Second Day, Op. 203 - page 14
Double Piano Concerto ("Fellow Travellers"), Op. 204 - 20
Violin Concerto ("Ticklish") - 56, the ongoing orchestration
Crystal Series - 30, concluding the pdf
