On this CD it is presented in versions: for piano solo and later for cello solo with piano solo. As in the sister works, \"Etudes Australes\" and \"Freeman Etudes\", Cage based the \"Etudes Boreales\" on a star chart. He used the chart of the northern sky that the Czech astronomer Antonín Becvár made in 1962. The time length piece 26'1.1499' - Friedrich Gauwerky chooses the first 640.3 seconds for this recording, thus giving the piece the titel 10'40.3' - documents the composer's retreat from an intentional determination of the sounds. And also the \"Harmonies\" welcome the creative possibilities of whatever happens next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarmony XXVII for Violoncello and Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I (Etudes Boreales for a Percussionist Using a Piano)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e IV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Harmony XXII for Violoncello and Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 10'40.3 for a String Player As Part of: 26'1.1499 for a String Player\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Harmony XXIV for Violoncello and Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I (Etudes Boreales for Cello Solo and Piano Solo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e IV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Harmony XIII for Violoncello and Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50522148995346,"sku":"4010228671827","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/mark-knoop-etudes-boreales-harmonies-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
