condition (record/cover): NM / NM  The Philips pressing of 4 Études Chorégraphiques / 8 Inventions couples Maurice Ohana with Miloslav Kabeláč, Czech composer whose presence signals the label's pan-European ambitions. Ohana's choreographic studies announce dance as concern, music conceived for moving bodies even when performed in concert.

Kabeláč's inventions provide contrast, Central European rigor against Mediterranean fluidity. The coupling seems arbitrary but reveals Philips's curatorial logic: show listeners that contemporary music isn't monolith but diversity, that Prague and Paris produce different sounds equally deserving attention. The LP format requires such couplings; CD would later permit single-composer programs that vinyl economics prohibited.
