60 Important Words

60 Important Words is a composition for one or more piano players on one or more pianos. The composition consists of 38 parts. Performer(s) may use any amount of this material, in any sequence, in order to build their performance. Each version of this piece should have a duration of at least 8 minutes. No action can be repeated during the performance of a version. At the end of each part there is an indication on how one continues to the next part (attacca, 2,3, or 4 seconds pause).

When more than one player is involved in a performance, performers should decide collectively on the total duration of their performance. No other collaboration on the sequence of the actions etc. is required. In the case of multiple players, performers begin and end the piece at the same time, when the pre-agreed duration is completed.
