“Arabic Numeral (any integer) for H. F.”

(1960)

 

This piece is also known as “X for Henry Flynt”.

 

La Monte Young : Piano

 

Utilizing an interlocking fingers straight arm technique to maximize the number

of keys able to be struck at once in a repeated consistent fashion.

The piece illustrates human fallibility and how it is impossible

to be exactly the same and the differences or errors become the interesting elements.

 

 Likely from the 24-hour WKCR 1984 retrospective FM broadcast

in stereo from an originally monophonic recording.

Remastered here back into mono.
