"The mathematical term ''Block Design'' comes from combination theory and refers to the distribution of a fixed number of elements into blocks of a fixed size according to specific combinatory preconditions. In ''block design for piano'' the blocks are a sequence of 330 different ascending 6-note arpeggios. Their notes are taken from a fixed 12-note chord in such a way that every combination of four particular notes occurs 10 times in 10 different arpeggios. The 330 arpeggios are presented in 30 groups of eleven. Unlike most of Tom Johnson's compositions, the mathematical logic is not easily discernable. In an introductory text he sent me shortly after completing the piece, he commented on the difficulty of predicting the course of the music and wrote '' As I listen, I can imagine that I am hearing something derived from nature''. Indeed, like the waves washing up on a beach , no two them identical yet all following the same unfathomable laws, this music has the inevitability and timelessness of the processes of nature. "
