Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano

Album by John Cage & Darryl Rosenberg

An album of John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano, a cycle of short pieces inspired by Indian aesthetic theory (the eight rasas), realised on a piano altered with screws, bolts and rubber to produce percussive timbres. It belongs to avant‑garde and twentieth‑century classical traditions, focusing on rhythm, resonance and tranquillity.
