{"product_id":"afw-48023973","title":"Cello Counterpoint","description":"\u003ci\u003eCello Counterpoint\u003c\/i\u003e (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.","brand":"Boosey \u0026 Hawkes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50547560153167,"sku":"AFW-48023973","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/1271\/8671\/files\/AFW-48023973.jpg?v=1790680018","url":"https:\/\/amadeussheetmusic.com\/products\/afw-48023973","provider":"Amadeus Sheet Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
