Sonatas & Interludes for Prepared Piano

Album by John Cage & Joshua Pierce

Sonatas & Interludes for Prepared Piano is a cycle for prepared piano by John Cage, in which the instrument is altered with screws, bolts and rubber to create a wide range of percussive timbres. It explores rhythm, silence and microtonality, reflecting Cage’s interest in Indian aesthetics within 20th‑century avant‑garde and experimental classical music.
