Xenakis died in 2001, so you cannot have the sheets posted here. Sorry.

Here are a few images that have already been posted elsewhere on the net, so they're safe to show.  I may be able to be enticed into uploading the entire piano part, but I can not do it here, as this is still under copyright.  I have uploaded Evryali, Herma, a.r., Mists, Six Chansons and Keqrops before, but again, can't post them here.  You will probably have to open the pics in a new window and zoom to really see what's going on.  The first two show the study score, the last four are solo piano only, if you can believe it.

I finally got to hear this piece in its entirety and it is pretty brutal-sounding, both for the pianist and the orchestra/conductor. Damned incredible piece of work though. Seeing how frighteningly detailed the written piano part is, I'm curious to know how accurate most performances of this work turn out being.
