About the Book

John Cage seeks to explore the early part of the composer's life and career, concentrating on the "pre-chance" period between 1933 and 1950 that is crucial to understanding his later work. The essays consider Cage's influences, his evolving aesthetic, and his movement toward ideology that would later shape his work.
