- This substantial (ca. 450pp.) co-authored text is the most comprehensive examination of a single Cage piece to date, this the lynchpin piece in Cage’s central ‘indeterminate’ period. The Concert for Piano and Orchestra is examined from multiple perspectives—aesthetics, analysis, composition, performance, reception—and placed in the context of its unlikely pair of forebears, jazz and Schoenberg. It deploys and synthesises primary sources from fourteen archival collections in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and the United States of disparate types, including extensive examinations of correspondence, sketch material, autograph and holograph scores, archival recordings, press materials, and studio and television production records.
