Perła

Perła [Pearl], a manuscript written in pencil on a 4-page sheet of white manuscript paper (PWM-9), 210x300mm (written on the back, which explains why the PWM-0 sign appears in the top right corner of pages 2 and 4). The music is notated on page 2, between staves 1 and 9, in three 3-stave systems, with the last system on page 3. The title is inscribed on page 1: Perła. The title page is unsigned (page 4 is blank). The title (Perła) is written above the first stave on page 2, with T. Stańko in the top right corner. This composition was theme for the eighth variation on the album Soul of Things (ECM 2002). The manuscript is owned by Anna Stańko and held at the Tomasz Stańko Foundation in Warsaw.
