Devised in 1913, the \u003ci\u003eMusical Erratum\u003c\/i\u003e for piano forms part of the sequence of notes and projects which led to his celebrated artwork, \u003ci\u003eLa Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires, même\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eThe Bride Stripped Bare By Her Batchelors, Even\u003c\/i\u003e. Abstract, elusive and even \"unachievable\" according to the artist himself, the \u003ci\u003eMusical Erratum\u003c\/i\u003e in fact consists of two scores. In the first, notes are replaced by numbered keys, with virtuoso performance is discouraged in favour of novel mechanical instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second offers a form of chance composition, by which numbered balls are dropped into the moving wagons of a toy train. Two versions are included here: a conventional (non-virtuoso) performance on piano, and one on which spinning rotary discs brush the piano strings to produce extraordinary tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCD tracklist\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
