The musical gestures of the pieces continually crumble and splinter in various ways, ultimately resembling the unpredictable rustling of autumn leaves in the wind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Composers Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45061639897167,"sku":"ce-tk1slc1-pr-s","price":31.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/850151b70b1d4e0fd50358ce9579fc6a.jpg?v=1775238935","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/es\/products\/ko-still-life-crumbles-composers-edition","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
