The remaining Movements
3-The remainder of the new exercises that have been remembered
and are still practised vary from the most complicated exercises
with separate roles for every dancer in the class to short
fragments for study of a certain rhythm or of a certain body
action. Mme. Jeanne de Salzmann, who represented Gurdjieff's
work in France after his death and through whose activities
many of those newer exercises have been preserved, explained
once that it had only been possible to remember a minority,
some 25 percent, of all the exercises that Gurdjieff taught.
Thomas de Hartmann wrote music for fifteen Movements of this
group, eight of which can be heard on our previous 2-cd set
Gurdjieff's Music for the Movements. Over the years, many
of the remaining Movements of this last group acquired their
own musical accompaniment through the dedicated efforts of
other composers associated with Movement classes, such as
Alain Kremski and Edward Michael as well as many amateur composers.
