John Cage 是一名美國先鋒派古典音樂作曲家，也是在20世紀里具有影響力的 作曲家。 在他的作曲理念里他會采用： 任何環(huán)境下的聲音，比如，運用沉默，和雜音 他會運用 ”機遇“比如拋硬幣，算卦等 他還會選擇 順序 徹底放棄形式結(jié)構(gòu)來做曲 Cage 還喜歡采用各種電子以及視覺手段 John Cage - In a landscape was written as a homage to Erik Satie composed in 1948 in order to accompany choreography by dancer Louise Lippold. Written for solo piano or harp, John Cage instructed the performer to sustain both the damper and the sustain pedals together for the entire duration of the piece - only to release them at the very last measure: “Play without sounding, release pedals (thus obtaining harmonics”). While following a strict symmetrical structure at a quiet meandering pace, In a landscape is a timeless and mesmerising invitation to reflection and contemplation.
