| Abstract | This volume explores the early part of John Cage's life and career, concentrating on the "pre-chance" period from roughly 1933-1950. These essays consider influences on Cage's work, Cage and percussion, his evolving aesthetic, and his movement toward an ideology that would later shape his work, arguing that a reevaluation of this early period is crucial to understanding his later work. |
