An early and significant work - Sixteen Dances for Soloist and Company of Three, composed by John Cage in 1951 for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. Cage was already moving toward the systematic use of chance, and the work occupies a transitional moment: structured by a rhythmic framework and by the Indian theory of rasa, but anticipating the indeterminate procedures that would define the following decade. A rare document of Cage's work at a crucial juncture. On CP² Recordings.
