Scope and Contents

Albert Behar is the Sackners' grandson. This work is stored in the Albert Behar Archive box.This work is an 80th birthday gift for Marvin Sackner. It consists of a drawing of a music score that can be performed by voice or accordion as the intensity and timing of expiration and inspiration with an 1/8th note duration. In his letter, Albert Behar concludes that these 'two-way rhythms' ..."are based on panting patterns in the breath and can be played on the accordion, which, I realised is a giant musical lung!" -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
