• Notes:
  "Opus 113" takes up again the exclusive use of machine parts. It, too, is a rich and rewarding work, almost a companion piece to "Opus 101" and, like it, a translation in which the new material is used in a kind of construction developed to make maximum use of a different order of handmade forms.
