The experimental composer John Cage (1912-1992) is best known for
his works in percussion, prepared piano and electronic music, but
he is also acknowledged to be one of the most significant figures
in 20th century theatre. In Cage's theatre composition there is a
blurring of the distinctions between music, dance, literature, art
and everyday life. Here, William Fetterman examines the majority of
those compositions by Cage which are audial as well as visual in
content, beginning with his first work in this genre in 1952 and
continuing through to 1992. Information for this study has come
from material discovered among the unpublished scores and notes of
Cage and his frequent collaborator David Tudor, as well as the
author's interviews with Cage and individuals associated with his
work, including Merce Cunningham, Bonnie Bird, Caroline Richards,
and Ellsworth Snyder. The book also contains notation and
illustrations of performances of Cage's work.
