  • “In a Landscape” for solo piano or harp is a composition written by the American avant-garde composer John Cage, dedicated to the dancer Louise Lippold and set to her choreography. The piece floats and wanders like an ethereal dream, in an apparent reference to Erik Satie’s music. It is much more mellifluous than many of Cage’s other more experimental works. Throughout the entire composition, both the damper and sustain pedals are to be held until the very last measure.
    Date: 1948
    Dedicatee: Louise Lippold
    Performer: Tim Ovens on piano

    Such a great, meditative minimalistic piece. Also perfect for relaxed sightreading.

      The piece you are referring to is called ASLSP and the tempo marking is As Slow As Possible. Cage intended for the performer to pick the tempo, and I doubt he ever considered that anyone would attempt to make it last that long. A church in Switzerland decided, after Cage's death, to start a performance of the work that would last for over 600 years with the ending timed to coincide with JS Bach's 1000th birthday.. Cage would have probably been supportive of the concert, but it was not his original conception of the work. I own a recording of the work that is only about 20 minutes long.

    Cage was amazingly ahead of his time. While his contemporaries were gaining recognition and fame for sub-par derivative works, he was writing pieces like this; so unflinchingly minimalist and honest to his personal artistic vision. He knew as well as anyone that his sublime music would not garner him anything close to the fame and fortune bestowed upon the popular artists in the early 20th century but persisted regardless. Now over 70 years later we are privileged to be able to enjoy the ingenuity of his music.
    This particular piece is one of my favourites... it's easy to become lost in its atmosphere of contemplation

    For those who don't know, this piece was also one of Cage's greatest experiments. He wanted to write a piece that would not represent him at all. So he used some sort of an ancient Chinese book that I don't know the name of as a guide, and every note of this piece comes from the book's instructions (the instructions have nothing to do with music, he just tried to interpret them in a musical way) and voila. He did a pretty good job I'd say. And this is a great piece.

    • @onegathers
      @onegathers Před rokem +10

      The book is the I-Ching, and Cage used it to write many pieces, such as Music of changes, but he didn't use the I-Ching to write this. It is more a tribute to Cage's hero Satie.

    • @karlpoppins
      @karlpoppins Před 3 měsíci +1

      What I found interesting is that his pitch content is actually dependent on register, basically B is natural on the upper register and flat on the lower register. It gives this otherwise very tranquil piece a bit of spice, a bit of intrigue. Speaks volumes about nuance in handling dissonance.

    If you played this on a harp, what would you do with the ending, where you hold down some keys to make a chord out of harmonics? Just play the chord normally?

      you will not play ot with harp... :) it's a piano piece, I don't think Cage was in this case not concerned about the source. Anyway if I were an harpist I'd play it like harmonics (and yes: on harp it is possible to play chords with harmonics: it's very demanding but possible)

    Nicely played but you tend to lose the feel of the meter. It becomes just a flow of notes rather than a more articulated pattern of motifs recurring with different metrical emphasis. Anyway just my thought.

    • @mertinibus
      @mertinibus Před 4 měsíci +1

      "The rhythmic structure of this supremely lyrical work is 15 x 15 measures (5-7-3), following the structure of the Lippold dance for which it was written. The piece is similar to Cage’s Dream, but the fixed gamut of tones is more extensive. Resonances are sustained throughout the composition by using both pedals. The sound of the composition is soft and meditative, reminiscent of the music of Erik Satie."
