In 2019 Philip Corner sent to Luigi Bonotto "The Art of No-Art", no. FX0014
a suite for piano composed of two volumes of 114 handwritten graphic scores and 17 drafts.
In 2022 the Recital label publishes the complete volume composed of
the scores present in the Collection and many others, for a total
of 385 meditative graphic scores written by Philip Corner between 2019 and 2022.
Each score is a single-page meditation based around octaves.
Though written mostly for piano, the scores could be arranged for other instrumentation
(for those with fewer than an 8 octave range)
