One of John Cage's piano concerti, "14". Like his other piano concerto (not the one for prepared piano), this piece is based off of chance and aleatoric principles.
Cage's "number pieces" are composed of brackets of time - one within which a sound should begin, and another in which it should end. I believe the piano in this piece is bowed somehow.
Beautiful, thankyou for posting. The proof (if ever any was needed) that the human faculty for hearing (and thinking) needs no help from 'genius': only stimulus.
