Works for Cello / Lecture on Nothing
Album by John Cage & Frances‐Marie Uitti
Works for Cello / Lecture on Nothing pairs John Cage’s compositions for cello with a spoken realisation of his prose text Lecture on Nothing. It presents experimental writing for the instrument shaped by chance operations and indeterminate time structures alongside his reflections on silence and time.
First released: 1991
