As the years went by, the series lost its didactic character, and it came to be seen as a document from Kurtág's workshop, offering a key to his grander symphonic, chamber and vocal works as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolume XI contains works written between 2012 and 2019, apart from three pieces from decades earlier, the manuscripts of which had remained hidden until now.

He continues to write, never giving up despite the challenges. Music is his most important, demanding, and loyal companion, always by his side. Throughout the pages, Kurtág builds bridges between the past, present, and future, much like a poet. He whispers in the ears of his performers and listeners, speaking to everyone. with his intimate voice, he transcends the boundaries of inexpressible: his piano pieces, vibrating with infinite resonances, tell us about the world. If we listen to him, he simply and humbly teaches us to listen and focus on what is essential. and as Rimbaud murmurs, \"this language will be of the soul for the soul...\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Editio Musica Budapest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45106697011279,"sku":"Z15301","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/5b3216304fafe3c56e6a19f52a64a23a.jpg?v=1776436619","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/ja\/products\/kurtag-games-jatekok-volume-11-emb","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
