Sonatas and Interludes / Music for Marcel Duchamp / The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs

Album by John Cage & Nigel Butterley & Gerald English

This release collects John Cage works centred on prepared piano and voice with closed piano from the 1940s, including a cycle for prepared piano, a film-score piece for the same instrument, and a vocal setting of text by James Joyce. It belongs to experimental classical traditions and emphasises timbre, unconventional performance techniques, and percussive piano sonorities.
First released: 1993
