Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano

Album by John Cage & Boris Berman

John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano is a cycle of 16 sonatas and 4 interludes that alters the instrument’s timbre by inserting screws, bolts and rubber between the strings. Influenced by Indian rasa aesthetics, it belongs to experimental and 20th‑century classical traditions.
