One of Cage's earlier works, "Living Room Music" is scored for percussion and "speech quartet." The work is intended to be played on an unspecified array of household objects one would find in a living room, such as tables, books, magazines, or window frames. The second movement features a spoken excerpt from Gertrude Stein's "The World is Round."
