So lately I've really been getting into Rzewski's music. His People United Variations are incredible, so are his North American Ballads. I've also come across one of his larger, if not the largest work, The Road. It's on his box set Rzewski plays Rzewski, but he only plays half! Did he record the whole thing? I would really love to get a copy and listen to it, despite it's ridiculous length. 
Once during a concert at Carnegie Hall, the violinist Rachmaninoff was playing with lost his place in the music and whispered to Rachmaninoff, "Where are we?" Rachmaninoff replied, in all seriousness, "Carnegie Hall".

In case you aren't aware, Rzewski has made several of his scores available at the Werner Icking archive, including "The Road." http://icking-music-archive.org/ByComposer/Rzewski.php The Rzewski Plays Rzewski album was released before the Road was completed. I believe the Icking archive contains the complete Road.

Thanks. I actually have the entire score, I was looking for a recording of the work in it's entirety. But I assume he didn't re-record it after it was complete then?
