The People United Will Never Be Defeated!

Album by Frederic Rzewski & Marc‐André Hamelin

The People United Will Never Be Defeated! is a 1975 set of 36 variations for solo piano by American composer Frederic Rzewski. The work reworks a Chilean protest anthem into a technically demanding and rhythmically varied sequence that incorporates improvisatory, jazz-inflected and avant-garde techniques, and it has become a prominent part of late 20th-century contemporary piano repertoire and of Rzewski's output.
