Imaginary Landscapes
John Cage's sound experiments often centered around imaginary "Landscapes" that were fashioned by the artist in performance. Tonight we hear one of his first efforts in the genre for piano, "In a Landscape."
24:33 on WNYC2: A John Cage Festival
John Cage's "In a Landscape"
"In a Landscape" was scored in 1948 for Louise Lippold's eponymous dance piece. The piece is meditative and dreamy, using the sostenuto pedal and the damper pedal on the piano simultaneously throughout. Some have compared the piece to works by Erik Satie; it is less percussive than many of Cage's other works.
Joan La Barbara
Singer Joan La Barbara talks about her work with John Cage; featured music includes "Double Music," "Atlas Eclipticalis," and "A Flower."
