John Cage, Composer Monday, October 22, 2012
John Cage was a 20th century avant-garde composer whose inventive compositions and unorthodox ideas profoundly influenced mid-20th century music. One composition, called 4’33″, is a famous (or infamous, depending on who you’re talking to,) piece.
Newly back in print from Peters Publishing, this composition is in facsimile edition. There is a story about the piece, and a letter John Cage wrote to a friend about the piece included in the manuscript.
