La Femme 100 têtes, W. 60

~ Work

Annotation

La Femme 100 têtes consists of 44 Preludes and a Percussion Dance. The preludes are numbered from 1 to 45, but there is no 42 in the series. The sequential numbering in Antheils work often went wrong. It is unknown whether this was accidental or on purpose, given his "enfant terrible" or "bad boy" reputation.
