John Cage : music, philosophy, and intention, 1933-1950

2002

"This volume explores the early part of John Cage's life and career, concentrating on the "pre-chance" period from roughly 1933 to 1950. These essays consider influences on Cage's work, Cage and percussion, his evolving aesthetic, and his movement towards an ideology that would later shape his work, arguing that a reevaluation of this early period is crucial to understanding his later work."--back cover.
