Workers Union links

There are many interesting interpretations of the piece on Youtube; most, unfortunately, show only excerpts or are otherwise fragmented. Nonetheless it's worth browsing through them to get a sense of what kind of approaches the piece allows.

I've also uploaded a version that was performed 10 years ago in a concert I organized with the Munich-based ensemble Piano Possibile.

And here's a link for the score.
