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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Harmony XXVII for Violoncello and Piano \u003cbr\u003e1.2 I (Etudes Boreales for a Percussionist Using a Piano) \u003cbr\u003e1.3 II \u003cbr\u003e1.4 III \u003cbr\u003e1.5 IV \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Harmony XXII for Violoncello and Piano \u003cbr\u003e1.7 10'40.3 for a String Player, As Part of: 26'1.1499 for a String Player \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Harmony XXIV for Violoncello and Piano \u003cbr\u003e1.9 I (Etudes Boreales for Cello Solo and Piano Solo) \u003cbr\u003e1.10 II \u003cbr\u003e1.11 III \u003cbr\u003e1.12 IV \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Harmony XIII for Violoncello and Piano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
