great music

i love prepared piano

cool visuals as well

[gamassera]

Of Course. Prepared piano is called when you put different kind of objets over his strings to obtain differents sounds when you play it. Specially percussion sounds. It was a Cage's idea to replace a percussion set. Sorry but my english is poor to explain it better.

[maestroanth]

Can you describe a prepared piano? It's remarkable.

[gamassera]

I finally meet the name of the piece: 3 dances for prepared piano, performed by Patrick Moraz

[pafmacfly]

perhaps this song is "second construction" or something like that but I'm not sure

[dy3kt]

nice...

[mathildemaijer]

the music is no percussion, but prepared piano (percussion made by a 'transformed' piano). but what piece of music is it?

[gamassera]

This music IS PERCUSSION, for Cage invented prepared piano for this reason. And if you think it, piano is a percussion instrument. I don't remember the name of the piece, but it's performed by Partick Moraz, one of YES's keyboard player (in Relayer LP). Thanks for your comment

[mathildemaijer]

yes, of course piano is percussion as well. I think you understand what I mean, and I understand what you mean. I think it is useful to give this very nice video a wider audience by tagging it with the tags prepared piano. Then people who search for prepared piano will discover it easier (otherwise they only find "In the name of the Holocaust".

[gamassera]

Thanks, Mathilde, it's true, I'll tag this videp better. as you say.
