Pierre Boulez said that Cage was not a composer, but an inventor. And I say he was an inventor of perceiving sound in new ways. Maybe an inventor and a philosopher. To me, this is like slowed down Debussy. Peaceful.
It's raining. I was walking through the streets and this music was everywhere, in the puddles on the roads, in the sky covered with thick lead clouds, in the branches of naked trees, in the cold wind blowing in my face. I was wondering whether it was me tired of all the routine and monotonous stream of the days, or it was the nature trying to focus my gaze on all the simple beauties I was ignoring though it always appeared right in front of my eyes. In fact, I just wanted to sit somewhere and let the music merge me with it and turn to a tiny peace of an immortal beauty.
What makes this characteristic of other Cage compositions is his employing of chance music for the composition process. However, unlike Music of Changes, he does not employ the I Ching for his chance process. He uses paper imperfections. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_for_Piano_(Cage)
Exactly. For those who don't know this piece is also an experiment. He wanted to write a piece that sounds like it wasn't written by him at all. So every single note of this comes from some Ancient Chinese book.
One of the most popular examples of his early, quasi-minimalist diatonic, modal output, extremely different than later, experimental, aleatoric (indeterminate) work written since the early 1950s.

John Cage 1912-1992 uno dei compositori più importanti del nostro secolo : questo brano si può collocare tra minimalismo di Satie e suggestioni orientali; il compositore infatti si avvicinò al Buddismo zen
@Mark Davenport - The music suggests SATIE most of all. Lou Harrison & John Cage met Alan Hovhaness at the (1945?) premiere of Hovhaness's LOUSADZAK (composed 1944). Both LH & JC were knocked out by AH's new departure. LH wrote a rave review for Virgil Thomson (NY Herald Tribune) & LH wrote several suites heavily influenced by AH. Hovhaness may also have known Satie's music at that time, but JC & VT could have informed him. I respect Cage for not being an avant-garde snob, unlike most of his followers. AH was a major composer & he struggled for recognition - he had his own audience & gained fame in 1955 with Mysterious Mountain (Sym.2). But what is overlooked is Hovhaness's major innovations. Lutoslawski was clueless about Hovhaness's aleatorism of 1944 (in Lousadzak) which is 16 years before WL coined the term "aleatorism". WL simply got his idea via JC (innocently ?). The Hovhaness/Cage recordings were 78rpm album(s) issued USA in 1947. Cage took up the SATIE cause around 1948-58.
This was Cage inspired by Erik Satie. He was 36 years old. This was composed only several years before Cage turned to indeterminacy and chance composed music, such as the The Music of Changes. Such a complete rejection of this work, I wonder what happened, to make John Cage reject all emotion in his music.
I find Cage's later music just as emotional as this, which is to say not very emotional at all. The music itself does not and should not contain emotion, it is human beings who contain emotion and sometimes listening to music reminds us of this. This music is similar to Satie's in the sense that is especially rhythmic - Cage was at this point known as a percussion composer especially because of his intense interest in rhythms and structure in music over all other aspects. Satie and Webern, Cage's favourites, were similar.
there's a great article by Jonathan Katz called 'John Cage's Queer Silence' which has a few speculations about the titles of Cage's pieces around this period : )
This piece was composed and premiered in Black Mountain, NC, home of the Black Mountain College (definitely worth Googling if you haven't heard of this school)
I think of it more as an embodiment of the idea of depression. It starts with a motif we hear constantly repeated throughout the piece, and at times it sounds like it's about to resolve but it always comes back. It's like how certain events or occurrences stick in our head, and we try so hard to get over it but we never really do.
This a strange one for John Cage. His 1st recordings (Amores) were issued on a 78rpm album alongside Alan Hovhaness's 1st recordings around 1945-8. Satie was to be a big influence. But where does this dreamy tonal item fit into the scheme of things ? Lou Harrison's shadow perhaps !

He is one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. People who say he is bad just bandwagon in that opinion without actually taking the time to really listen to his body of work.
Satie is composing in a fin de siecle aesthetic. Debussy is clearly a modernist both in means and aesthetic...In a landscape traces back his roots in Satie's Vexations -ie the archetypal of postmodernism.... Cage writing in 1948 is clearly THE American avant-garde but this work is both in means and aesthetic a postmodern product (a deviation)...In the 50s Cage is going to prepare officially the way for the postmodern 60s by producing aleatory music.... Modernism in not simplicity, neither ambience...

Just stop conflating the two by spewing a bunch of pseudo-intellectual mumbo jumbo that a bunch of pretentious twits think is "deep." I've stepped in deeper puddles than John Cage.
@@realfranktalk6767 Think you completely missed the point of my statement. I wasn't even talking to you either and you come bumbling in defending him like some kind of triggered SJW. Also linking a video to prove a point is being a "pseudo-intellectual" ... jesus fucking christ some people's brains these days can't even tell if theyre functioning properly or not.
@@realfranktalk6767 Also "I've stepped in deeper puddles than John Cage" who's the pretentious twit here ?
The art of pinchbeck/crap. Even John Cage has cheapo episodes, generating by American capitalism: powers of money and celebrities life (?).
Repetitiveness to no end ... it is a fantasizing about very simple harmonic / melodic patterns. Probably, those who appreciate and overestimate this "composer" are fasting of musical compositions of a certain artistic depth. It is a fashion of today, considering deplorable and banal artistic forms, pearls of genius.
Alas, being condescending about the creativity of others and not willing to try and understand their approach and the circumstances under which they originated also is a sad fashion of todays self announced art pundits. Combined with the desire to let the world know about their disapproval via the internet.
when i heard it, i felt like 2 year old boy... or maybe 100.
