It's really rather surprising how powerful this type of music can be. I'm sure everyone who has criticized this piece is not a musician, and thus doesn't appreciate it. I myself don't know much about John Cage, or infact his music, but after hearing a few songs, I can really see what he has achieved; and I would that he has definitely surpassed the boundaries.

It's got that rock 'n roll energy / anger to it. Chaos in a song. Nice.

art is not necessary beautyness,art is a way of express that the artist need and must say

I remember a talk Ned Rorem gave in the late 1950s IIRC. Someone asked him how he reacted to critics. While he did not pay much attention to them, he said he preferred his music to be liked, but it was OK if people hated it. Either way, he had communicated, and that was what he was after. What he did not like was when people were bored because in that case he felt he had failed to communicate.

yeah..thanks for sharing!! fantastic!!

amazing! thanks for uploading this!

The beauty of abstract music xD

This is so unbelieveable good and I know it from one of the TV films about Cage.
Absolut fantastic. About 20 years later Jimmy Hendrix had a similar idea at the Woodsrock Festival you know.
I like the sound of the piano. Cages Piano Work is really astonishing. Thank you so much for this here.

@asemanasa a large variety of objects is used for the preparation: screws, nails, springs, string, matches, rubber, you name it. several years ago i show margaret leng tan performing this and other music by john cage in athens. at one point she had to alter the preparation and she invited the audience on stage to watch how it is done. luckily not everyone did, although it wasn't a large audience, so i got very close to watch. it was very interesting.

Woah. That was beautiful...
|
Extremely provocative. Anyone who can't hear the energy there, I have no time for.

Don't expect this music to push and pull your emotions like traditional western music. It's sound for the sake of sound. As John Cage said: "People have two ears. They should be able to listen in at least two different ways."

I am glad that you've posted a comment like that. There won't be any "everyone is musical" rhetoric, don't worry, I know first hand that it isn't true. I think it is a good idea to classify Cage apart from traditional conceptions of music, and a lot of your words ring true. I enjoy his philosophy and thought more than most of his music, although i do sincerely enjoy what he did with pianos. No-one should ever make a sane argument that Cage ranks among the great musicians of history, true...

i was told you responded to one of my remarks, but am lost as to which one, because of the number posts you've provided. these are actually intelligent, thoughtful defensive remarks you have made, attempting to at least reconcile some of the hostility expressed in other comments. they are a pleasure to read. thank you for taking the time to post comments like these, because so often people don't want to understand, they just want to insult or degrade.

Cage was a pioneer, he marks a radical break in the concept of composition and his professionalism is definable in the classical sense of the word, he necessarily had to invent it for himself since what he was doing had not been done before. He did develop some very complex procedures and structures for his works and his influence on twentieth century art extends beyond the realm of music.

While I don't usually like John Cage's pieces, his contributions to extended piano techniques and music in general are appreciated. You probably hear music that John Cage inspired all the time without batting an eye. Besides, this "woman" Margaret Leng Tan, is a classically trained musician with a doctorate in musical arts from Juliard. She probably knows more about prepared pianos than Cage did.

Very suggestive.
|
How do you know what inspired cage? its easy for you to sit on the other side of youtube and write about debasing memories, but for those of us who live with the legacy of the holocaust daily its nice to know that artists are attempting to understand and convey a little about what we feel.
Just a thought, would you have written the same thing about "therondy for the victems of hiroshima?"

Absolutely breathtaking. Like it or dislike it, the performer pours her heart into every second.
