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.
