{"product_id":"cello-counterpoint-steve-reich-9781495083426","title":"Cello Counterpoint: Version for Solo Cello and Tape","description":"(Boosey \u0026amp; Hawkes Scores\/Books). Cello Counterpoint (2003) is scored for eight cellos, and can be played by a soloist with the other parts pre-recorded. This tape is available from the Boosey \u0026amp; Hawkes rental library. Alternately, the piece can be played by a Cello Octet. (There are differences in distribution of parts between the two versions.) The piece is in three movements: fast, slow, fast. The first and last movements are both based on a similar four-chord cycle that moves ambiguously back and forth between C minor and E-flat major. This harmonic cycle is treated extremely freely however, particularly in the third movement. The second, slow movement, is a canon in E-flat minor involving, near the end of the movement, seven separate voices. The piece is a little more than 11 minutes in duration, and was co-commissioned by the Koussevitzky Foundation in the Library of Congress, the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and Leiden University, for cellist Maya Beiser.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Reich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 149508342X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781495083426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boosey \u0026amp; Hawkes Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 6.60w x 0.20d","brand":"Steve Reich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458888413439,"sku":"9781495083426","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60623965-eec5-42ad-a074-a42545acdf05.jpg?v=1777407214","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cello-counterpoint-steve-reich-9781495083426","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
