Programme Note
As Cage himself instructs: “Single or several tones (1-5) in flexible time brackets. Do not play the tones more than once. Dynamics and durations should be extremely varied and go to extremes of loudness and softness. The percussion instruments are numbered but not specified. They should be skin, wood, or muted metal, not overly resonant, but capable of being played ffs and pp. The number of icti for each time bracket is in superscript. The saxophone parts do not sound as written.”
