Due to the prominent role of the piano soloist, it has often been classified as a piano concerto. It was completed in 1986. == Composition == The composition was commissioned by Phynea Paroufakis and Peter Paroufakis from Australia for the pianist Roger Woodward, the New York Philharmonic and the Indian conductor Zubin Mehta, who gave it a first performance on 13 November 1986 at the Lincoln Center in New York. The composition was published by Éditions Salabert in 1987. According to the composer, the title of the composition, as most of his other works, is a compound from other Greek words and roots: ''krekoo'' and ''opsis'', which comes from ''opoopa''. Xenakis translated the title as ''weaving''. However, Xenakis gave the title a second meaning. He also refers to the legend from the Mycenaean era of Cecrops I, originally from Sais in Egypt, who, in a reign of 50 years, introduced civilization into Attica, fortified the Acropolis of Athens and divided the people into four tribes.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Keqrops」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
