The People United Will Never Be Defeated! (36 Variations on a Chilean Song)

Album by Frederic Rzewski & Ursula Oppens

The People United Will Never Be Defeated! (36 Variations on a Chilean Song) is a 1975 solo piano composition by American composer Frederic Rzewski. The work presents a theme followed by 36 variations that traverse virtuosic, contrapuntal and improvisatory techniques, combining avant-garde gestures with classical variation forms and reflecting overt political engagement, and it occupies a central place in Rzewski's output and late 20th-century piano repertoire.
First released: 1978
