Reich pieces, Kuniko Plays Reich. Piano Counterpoint is an arrangement of Six Pianos by the pianist Vincent Corver, following the format of Reich's Counterpoint series in which one live instrument plays against pre-recorded versions of the same instrument. This arrangement has four pre-recorded parts and one solo part, combining the two foreground melodic parts of Six Pianos. Piano Counterpoint'''s sonic difference from the original comes from the use of amplification and from the solo part in which some of the melodic phrases are an octave higher. Corver created this arrangement in 2011. Piano Counterpoint is performed by Corver himself on an album released by the London Steve Reich Ensemble in 2011 and by Vicky Chow (known as pianist in the Bang on a Can All Stars) in an album released in 2014. Chow played the piece at a somewhat slower tempo to give a different feel to Corver's version. Folkwang University of the Arts professor Mie Miki adapted the piece for accordions: the resulting Six Accordions premièred in Tokyo in 2010. American DJ Kerri Chandler released a house-music track called Six Pianos that interpolates the Reich piece. Recordings The original version of the piece was recorded in Hamburg (Rahlstedt), Musikstudio 1, in January 1974. It was issued on LP in a box set with Drumming and Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ. It was later reissued as a single LP with Drumming (which occupies 4 sides of LPs) omitted. Both releases were on the Deutsche Grammophon label. A sixteen-minute recoding of Six Marimbas is included in Reich's box set Works 1965–1995''.
