  • oh... Then I have to find it! Is it also in the Timpani Cds?

  • Yes, it's Vol. 1, the same CD with "Tracees". The CD is Timpani 1C1057. "Iannis Xenakis: Works for Large Orchestra"

  • Thank you a lot - by the way, does it say anywhere what the title means?

  • I'm sorry - I wasn't able to find that information. I know Xenakis's titles generally mean something specific, but I couldn't find this one - the CD booklet doesn't get into the title.

  • Ok, I found it, its French and it means fingerprints. I was wandering if it was very old type of an ancient Greek word, but I couldn't figure out any logic in it (I'm Greek). Thank you for helping

  • It's understandable you would think so. It seems that most of his titles are compound Greek words that means something descriptive about the piece. Thanks for the information about the title. I didn't know that.

  • Thanks a lot . . .

  • Xenakis Stravinsky-like!

  • Your observation is correct. The entire work is 10:27. I decided not to make a part two for the las 30 seconds.

  • !! It's so beautiful.. Is it full here? I was confused by the ending.
