Sonata and Interludes for Prepared Piano: Canons and Studies

Album by John Cage & Conlon Nancarrow & Joanna MacGregor

A release pairing John Cage's prepared‑piano cycle Sonatas and Interludes with his Canons and Studies, presenting mid‑century experimental classical works focused on altered piano timbres, percussive textures, and strict canonic procedures. The prepared piano is modified by inserting objects between the strings, while the canons and studies employ systematic contrapuntal and rhythmic methods.
