Description:

The music of John Cage (1912-1992), with its variety and strangeness, has been received by many music fans. His sound world, which seems to have completely rewritten the conventional concept of the piano, including not only the tone of the prepared piano but also its potential as a percussion instrument, is certainly interesting to listen to, and it is easy to understand why many people would like to play it themselves if they could. Of the two pieces on this album, "Music for 2" is only titled this way for convenience, and the 2 part is actually blank. It is titled "Music for _," and consists of arbitrary combinations of various instruments. Since the combined instruments are directly titled, this piano duo version is as "Music for 2. The "Three Dances" is the most ambitious of Cage's works.Known as a piece that pushes the limits of a pianist's ability, it is a fascinating and ecstatic piece with magnificent pianism and textured tone.
