Reviewing the premiere of The Temporary & Tentative Extended Piano and other pieces, Leighton Kerner of The Village Voice wrote: “As a builder of music-theater constructions, Kievman is a wizard!… Kievman and his musicians conspire to reveal a theater where music is not content to accompany speaking, singing, or dancing, and is not inclined, no matter how entertainingly, to imitate non-musical components, but takes over, instrumentally pure, tolerating no accomplice-arts. To the extent that Kievman’s present work achieves this, it is stunning!”
