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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInventory # :  48023972\u003cbr\u003e\nUPC:  888680659288\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN:  1495083438\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth:  6.75\"\u003cbr\u003e\nLength:  10.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight:  0.214\"\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct Weight:  0.4 lbs.\u003cbr\u003e\nNumber of Pages:  72\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boosey \u0026 Hawkes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342725914918,"sku":"48023972","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/8ba50674-80f8-50f5-b170-b342b887ea80.jpg?v=1722746115","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/cello-counterpoint-study-score","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
