@Ad The Asian I guess appreciating advante-garde and musique concrete makes me edgy. Oh lordy I swear I'll never rooaaam again. People like you are the ones who drag down innovative people. This is why humanity never progresses.
I am reading the interview where J. Cage gave the answers and became the book “for the birds”. I became fascinated from Cage when I have seen a performance of him, pushing different items without concept from a table and understanding the action as the composition of of his understanding from music without object.
I met cage when I was a youngster. what a wonderful man. I gave him my collection of quotes and he was delighted. 🕉 zen John Cage. no right or left, no good or bad, the middle path is beyond the extremes of duality.
This music sure does me right. I love the way he plays with duration of notes, how he plays with complimentary sounds, how he introduces numerous melodies into one set. Lovely.
I know of them since 2004/2005, as in 2005 I was given two sets of the early Cage's piano scores published by Edition Peters. I found information about them in 2004 in an online Cage's works catalogue.
That's not music. If some bum composed instead, people would just call it what it was. The idea that 'any sound can be music' was the dumbest thing any composer ever said.
Congrats, Zachary, on being the first to leave a comment. I've only had the pleasure of doing that with videos that are almost never viewed. But I am sure this one will get lots of traction. This is one of the best compilations of Cage's piano music I have ever heard. One small quibble is that some of the tempos (particularly in "Metamorphosis" and "Dream") are a little too brisk for my taste. But overall the readings are poetic, sensitive, and beautifully played by Simonacci. I am often surprised at how Cage didn't decide on music as his life's work until he had talked to Schoenberg about it. Also surprised at how Cage often disparged his earliest compositions. He was a natural from the get-go. I imagine that Simonacci plans to record all of Cage's piano music; he has also recorded another 3-CD set with the complete "Music For Piano" and other works (mostly later ones). This is a first-rate production all around. Brilliant Classics is indeed a brilliant label, and I am very pleased that they have considered Cage "mainstream" enough (by now) to record his works with the same solemnity they accord to the masters of the more distant past.

I''m listening whilst writing a very important letter. Thanks for the inspiration, Mr. Cage. I might just be commenting to procrastinate. Plus, I've never been the *first* to leave a comment...exhilarating.
who you were writing to, Dracula? I just went through its first 15 minutes while in my doctor's waiting room I feel like I'm about to attend a Illuminati/ Eyes wide shut party. I guess it gets less dark afterwards.
Bs Master Such beautiful replies. So inspiring ! Amazing, truly amazing ! I smiled reading your replies.

@Evil Robot Santa Claus 🎁 💣 💥 so 1) this is the WORST approach you can have to whatever kind of music 2) this is your ONLY experience of this music and you think you are entitled to say something about it - not just "I like it/I dislike it" but "it's pompous dull/pop music and so on"? You basically don't know anything but you are sure you can evaluate and judge this music. This is very silly, but comprehensible since you must really be unexperienced 3) before saying something more than "like/dislike" "I'm interested/not interested" you have to learn HOW to listen to something: each kind of music needs a different approach - this is true for Xenakis and for Bach. 4) you are perfectly entitled to prefer Xenakis to Mozart, most people thinks the opposite , but you are not entitled to dismiss something only on the basis of your taste and, forgive me my rudeness, your ignorance (a two hours random mix of music is NOTHING). Before dismissing and judgeing something you need to study and understand it - if you don't do that you can only say "I don't like" "I'm not interested" (I don't like Franck Zappa, but I never seriously tried to enter his music - and limit myself to the first impression it makes me - and know that lots of reliable people appreciate it, so I don't say nothing more than: I don't like it, I'm not interested" and "propabily I'm missing something". ) 5) you are totally wrong and your comment is really silly ... but this is another story - you are basically distracted by music surface (I can understand this, but it'a a pity for you - I wush you will find a path to this music) 6) before dismissing me mind that I am a so called "avant garde" composer with a free jazz background

Wundert mich ehrlich gesagt, viele der Stücke sind meiner Meinung nach ziemlich traditionell gehalten, insbesondere die frühen Werke zu Beginn des Albums
The typical example of how a talentless person can cheat masses into believing in his genius by just putting himself on a pedestal. He was just noodling on piano having no idea what he's doing crating these "masterpieces". If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you (c)
What a perfect example of a typical "you're shit" Cage fanboy. The rithoric and linguistic approach elimiated your disguise of a person who actually think before putting himself in a position of in-public selfobliteration. Well done Terry. You only proved my point. Thank you and I hope there's a wonderful life ahead of you.
MishaZip I think you misunderstood or miss read my post. My comment was about your opinion about John Cage and your opinion about yourself and your addition to the thoughts on this composer.
Oh, then it entirely changes the matter ! You brilliantly fuckovering my shitty opinion with your outstanding, well proven, rithprically perfect opinion is great. Thank you for explaining that you actually didn't particularly like my opinion because I naively thought that you adored it. Oh, well. I just wish I could express my point as well as you did with your opinion, which obviously the whole youtube has been waitig and asking for for years. It was beautiful, Terry. Your words just proved my point once again. Thank you.
I agree, but you have to admit there is some art in terms of arrangement and space the idea is that human affinity towards tonal systems is conditioned. This entire movement, begun primarily by schoenberg, is that humans can be conditioned to enjoy any standard of beauty. Such an idea obviously failed. And now it is an embarrassing stain on the history of music. 100 years from now people will begin to write the history of fine art throughout the 20th century and wonder what the fuck happened. They will start with Ives, then Schoenberg, and go through Cage and Boulez, and react with incredulity that any human being, at any time, could listen to this shit and enjoy it. In fact, most people don't. It is a mish mash of stupid harmony and gimmicky rhythm, created primarily for political or pseudo-artistic purposes. Nobody seriously goes home and puts on headphones and listen to Boulez.
I pressume you are one of those, who hate him for dissonant and "random" sounds, at the same time ignoring the fact there are minimalist and very melodic consonant pieces as well, just like "In a Landscape" with beautiful line in traditional sense or "Three Easy Pieces" with high skill of traditional tonal counterpoint. He was able to write both tonal melodic music and in avant-garde style.
His compositional technique is really at high level and he shows original ideas. I would pressume you are one of those who hate him for dissonant and "random" sounds, at the same time ignoring the fact there are minimalist and very melodic, consonant pieces as well, just like "In a Landscape" or "Three Easy Pieces" with high skill of traditional counterpoint.
John Cage was a composer in the sense that Jeffery Dahmer was a heterosexual, vegan FBI agent. He was so incompetent, he didn't know how to write a piece of music that was silent so he had to create a silent piece of performance art, instead.

@@SergiuszWrotek8 No. I said he wasn't competent. Competence transcends style. Take the quote he took from someone else: Everything we do is music. That's not even poetically true. And coming from a "composer" it's insulting and dismissive of all the other fine arts....which wouldn't exist if this statement were true. He could have gotten away with "Everything we do is dance...and in that dance we move to our music" but he didn't understand music well enough to understand its position in our lives. People talk about Cage as if he were Piston. Not even close. Piston wouldn't have screwed up 4'33".
@@jackgalmitz What "preconceptions?" What "prejudices?" To what beauty and stateliness do you refer? Or is it a bunch of horseshit you're throwing out, hoping something sticks? As incompetence must.
@@bwacuff169 Well...I suppose you can think of Cage in this way...Why not? (Although I doubt John Cage, humble man that he was, could accept such lavish praise without blushing).

I am extremely jealous of you. His life and mine overlapped for a handful of years but he is as alive to me as I am.

Actually, not true. The "music" is the ambient noise of the room and the audience.

This is one of the best compilations of Cage's piano music I have ever heard. One small quibble is that some of the tempos (particularly in "Metamorphosis" and "Dream") are a little too brisk for my taste. But overall the readings are poetic, sensitive, and beautifully played by Simonacci.

Wyatt Wahlgren I'm not sure either. But you could always just listen to the end for four minutes or so.
You can find it elsewhere on CZcams
because it would be pointless
But there was, it's the tune that never ends.
Ecouté en lisant Anne de Fornel...
4:33
細野晴臣氏が推奨されるわけがわかる。
where is 4'33?
hi my piano poetry improvisations might be interesting for you. Thank you!
Junk Cage is great!
So is this everything he wrote for piano or is it just from this album?
Glarewin Well, there does seem to be some missing. I don't see The Seasons, Daughter of the Lonesome Isles, Bacchanal, or Music for Marcel Duchamp. Might wanna check out Stephen Drury. He has most of the missing ones.
Totally mad
jaja Santander wn reconstruamos nuestro sur jajajaj
El marketing impúdico, grosero, fraudulento, descarado se ha tomado la información comuncacional. Cómo combatirlo, es una gran tarea. Liberarnos de este veneno implica aprender a leer sus mensajes de pacotilla , tortuosos. Reaccionar mostrando el fraude del lenguaje y su éxito.

Is this kind of music?????!?!?!?!?!!!!
Bis auf in a ladscape ist das doch idiotie
Traum ist auch gut
Schreckliche Klänge
Wundert mich ehrlich gesagt, viele der Stücke sind meiner Meinung nach ziemlich traditionell gehalten, insbesondere die frühen Werke zu Beginn des Albums
Postmodern music sounds so strange.
Очень это всë устарело.
Beautiful CIA funded music mmm psyops
His music isn't as bad as it sounds.
cringe
When God gives you no talent.
Very sad...
are you a talented artist? i'd like to know
Pompous git.
There is no God to give out any talent.
So, what have you ever done?
Art is dead
I agree :) you could check my piano improvisations in my channel ''piano narratives'' it might be interesting for you.Thank you
It's not, despite Cage's best efforts
So terrible
So incredible
The typical example of how a talentless person can cheat masses into believing in his genius by just putting himself on a pedestal. He was just noodling on piano having no idea what he's doing crating these "masterpieces".
If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you (c)
What a perfect example of a typical "you're shit" Cage fanboy. The rithoric and linguistic approach elimiated your disguise of a person who actually think before putting himself in a position of in-public selfobliteration. Well done Terry. You only proved my point. Thank you and I hope there's a wonderful life ahead of you.
MishaZip I think you misunderstood or miss read my post. My comment was about your opinion about John Cage and your opinion about yourself and your addition to the thoughts on this composer.
Oh, then it entirely changes the matter ! You brilliantly fuckovering my shitty opinion with your outstanding, well proven, rithprically perfect opinion is great. Thank you for explaining that you actually didn't particularly like my opinion because I naively thought that you adored it. Oh, well. I just wish I could express my point as well as you did with your opinion, which obviously the whole youtube has been waitig and asking for for years. It was beautiful, Terry. Your words just proved my point once again. Thank you.
I agree, but you have to admit there is some art in terms of arrangement and space
the idea is that human affinity towards tonal systems is conditioned. This entire movement, begun primarily by schoenberg, is that humans can be conditioned to enjoy any standard of beauty. Such an idea obviously failed. And now it is an embarrassing stain on the history of music. 100 years from now people will begin to write the history of fine art throughout the 20th century and wonder what the fuck happened. They will start with Ives, then Schoenberg, and go through Cage and Boulez, and react with incredulity that any human being, at any time, could listen to this shit and enjoy it. In fact, most people don't. It is a mish mash of stupid harmony and gimmicky rhythm, created primarily for political or pseudo-artistic purposes. Nobody seriously goes home and puts on headphones and listen to Boulez.
I pressume you are one of those, who hate him for dissonant and "random" sounds, at the same time ignoring the fact there are minimalist and very melodic consonant pieces as well, just like "In a Landscape" with beautiful line in traditional sense or "Three Easy Pieces" with high skill of traditional tonal counterpoint. He was able to write both tonal melodic music and in avant-garde style.
Rubbish music
Just annoying.
What a load of crap! Cage is the Paulo Cohelo of music.
Ignorant
@@jormaple Snob
His compositional technique is really at high level and he shows original ideas. I would pressume you are one of those who hate him for dissonant and "random" sounds, at the same time ignoring the fact there are minimalist and very melodic, consonant pieces as well, just like "In a Landscape" or "Three Easy Pieces" with high skill of traditional counterpoint.
@@SergiuszWrotek8 Ok man, I've read this copypasta 4 times already, you can stop spamming in every thread
John Cage was a composer in the sense that Jeffery Dahmer was a heterosexual, vegan FBI agent. He was so incompetent, he didn't know how to write a piece of music that was silent so he had to create a silent piece of performance art, instead.

@@SergiuszWrotek8 No. I said he wasn't competent. Competence transcends style. Take the quote he took from someone else: Everything we do is music. That's not even poetically true. And coming from a "composer" it's insulting and dismissive of all the other fine arts....which wouldn't exist if this statement were true. He could have gotten away with "Everything we do is dance...and in that dance we move to our music" but he didn't understand music well enough to understand its position in our lives. People talk about Cage as if he were Piston. Not even close. Piston wouldn't have screwed up 4'33".
A man of preconceptions and prejudices cannot appreciate beauty or stateliness.
@@jackgalmitz What "preconceptions?" What "prejudices?" To what beauty and stateliness do you refer?
Or is it a bunch of horseshit you're throwing out, hoping something sticks? As incompetence must.
@@bwacuff169 Well...I suppose you can think of Cage in this way...Why not? (Although I doubt John Cage, humble man that he was, could accept such lavish praise without blushing).
my fav music on the toilet
