Revolutionary Turning Point A professor told him that if he didn’t
compose the “right” way, using the “right” chord progressions, and the “right” melodic tendencies, he would never be a successful composer.
“I can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones.” –John Cage, decided to move on to those new ideas.

4’ 33”
Most Famous Piece At 4 minutes and 33 seconds long, 4’33”
was originally performed by David Tudor, in a very formal western concert hall setting.
“Confronted with silence in a setting that we cannot control, and where we do not expect this kind of event, we might have any number of responses. Baffled, bored agitated, cultured, philosophical, or even smug ..because we “get it” –John Cage

Kinda Duchamamp-ie? Well….
John Cage and Marcel Duchamp were actually GREAT friends
Exchanged ideas and thoughts on music and sound
Constructed pieces together

A Game Of Chess
Duchamp and Cage wired their chess board so that each move would activate or cut off a live instrument playing elsewhere: thus creating a classic aleatoric piece.

Sonatas and Interludes
Created Prepared Piano early in his career, but didn’t get around to actually using it until he left Chicago.
Composed sonatas traditionally, and then used prepared piano to transform the piece
The buffered strings and muted sounds were meant to symbolize his voice in the art community

Impact “x” factor
Arnold Schoenberg changed the game for music composition
He invented the 12 tone technique which is a method of musical composition
The technique ensures that all 12 notes of the chromatic scale are sounded as often as one another in a piece of music while deemphasizing any one note, thus all 12 notes are equally important
