@nauaj13 Not necessarily. Progress is more a new outlook on how to play an instrument.

@benks31 it really doesn't matter, person.
-
@nauaj13 So she loves piano, not the music itself. She could be a good PIANO teacher but she's absolutely NOT a good MUSIC teacher ;)
-
@noobersers I don't see it as progress. Progress is a new instrument.
-
@cashdollar Unless you're preparing an upright piano. It's a different process and it destroys the piano.
-
@nauaj13 So you don't like musical progress?

@ubertuna1 Cage cant be called a composer if he never set notes down in a specific order on paper but he did so that is why people are recreating them in that way. If John Cage was truly devote to his "point" of music with chance, then he would have never recorded music on paper and would have been completely improvisational. And if he were strictly improvisational with his type of music then he would have been nothing more than a noise maker.

I find it extraordinarily ironic that the point Cage seemed to be trying to make with this piece, as well as with much of his other work, was that music can spring from anywhere, especially from the things we may interpret as random, chaotic, or simply noisy. Today, however, we see people recreating Cage's randomness exactly. I think Cage would have wanted us to explore new sounds we could achieve from the instrument, rather than replicating his own experiments. Just a thought.

My music teacher gets pissed when she hears a prepared piano. She sees it as a disgrace to alter an instrument like that I don't blame her one bit.
