Very early compositions from the 1940's for (prepared) piano, piano and violin, percussion, performed by pianist Reinbert de Leeuw and released by Philips in 1980, never re-issued on either LP or CD.

condition (record/cover): NM / EX (tag on back)

A gathering of John Cage's chamber and prepared piano works from the 1940s - among them Amores, the two solos for prepared piano and percussion trio that remain among the most immediately beautiful things he wrote, and Music For Marcel Duchamp, composed for Hans Richter's film Dreams That Money Can Buy. Philips gave this material an unusually prestigious commercial home. Works that emerged from a period of extraordinary fertility, before chance operations replaced compositional intentionality, and which retain a warmth and formal clarity that makes them the most accessible entry point into Cage's world.
