Sonatas And Interludes, composed between 1946 and 1948, stands as one of the most sustained and fully realised achievements of John Cage's early career - sixteen sonatas and four interludes for prepared piano, a single instrument transformed by bolts, screws, rubber and wood placed between the strings into an ensemble of percussive and resonant possibilities. The conceptual framework draws on the Indian theory of rasa, mapping each of the eight permanent emotions onto the architecture of the work. Issued by Fylkingen Records, the Swedish institution with a long history of releasing experimental and electroacoustic music, this CD documents one of the essential works in the prepared piano repertoire.
