 | | In 1929, de Hartmann left the Institute and resumed his career, composing sonatas, concertos, ballet music, symphonies, the opera Esher, song cycles, and a setting for voice and piano of the final pages of James Joyce's Ulysses. |
 | | In the late 40's and early 50's, de Hartmann was invited by Jeanne de Salzmann, Gurdjieff's closest disciple, to give recitals of the music he had composed with Gurdjieff and to compose new pieces for Gurdjieff's movements and sacred dances. |
 | | De Hartmann, a musician of European culture, needed time and special preparation to become sensitive to a musical language so different from his own. |
