Although John Cage has been almost universally recognised as the leading figure of the postwar musical avantgarde, this is the first book to present a complete and coherent picture of Cage the composer. Providing a historical account of Cages musical concerns and changing style, James Pritchett describes just what it was Cage did and why and how he did it. The book is centred around extensive descriptions of the most important works and compositional techniques, including indepth explanations of the role of chance and indeterminacy in Cages music. Dr Pritchett also considers the relationship of Cages musical thought to his interests in such diverse subjects as Eastern philosophy and religion, Marshall McLuhan, and anarchism (among many others). This book thus makes the essential introduction to Cages musical world.
