Cage: The Works for Piano

Cage: The Works for Piano is a collection of compositions by John Cage, renowned for his innovative approach to music. These pieces challenge traditional ideas of musical structure and sound by incorporating silence, randomness, and unconventional techniques. Cage often used prepared piano—placing objects on or between the strings—to create new textures. His work emphasizes the listener’s experience and the idea that all sounds are valid in music. Overall, the collection exemplifies Cage's exploration of chance, experimentation, and the boundaries of musical art.
