What is Treatise?
​Treatise by Cornelius Cardew is the culmination of over 30 years of writing and a lifetime of experience. Its contents include 193 individual and unique graphical scores of music. There are no instructions on how to play the scores, which creates a collaborative relationship between the piece and the musicians musical talents and improvisation.
