After Cage replied that he would, Schoenberg offered to tutor him free of charge.<a href="#cite_note-39">[37]</a> Cage studied with Schoenberg in California: first at <a href="/wiki/University_of_Southern_California" title="University of Southern California">University of Southern California</a> and then at <a href="/wiki/University_of_California,_Los_Angeles" title="University of California, Los Angeles">University of California, Los Angeles</a>, as well as privately.<a href="#cite_note-Pritchett,_Grove-31">[30]</a> The older composer became one of the biggest influences on Cage, who "literally worshipped him",<a href="#cite_note-Kostelanetz,_p._6-40">[38]</a> particularly as an example of how to live one's life being a composer.<a href="#cite_note-Pritchett,_p._9-37">[36]</a> The vow Cage gave, to dedicate his life to music, was apparently still important some 40 years later, when Cage "had no need for it [i.e. writing music]", he continued composing partly because of the promise he gave.<a href="#cite_note-41">[39]</a> Schoenberg's methods and their influence on Cage are well documented by Cage himself in various lectures and writings.

I said, "In that case I will devote my life to beating my head against that wall."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECage1973260-42">[40]</a></blockquote> Cage studied with Schoenberg for two years, but although he admired his teacher, he decided to leave after Schoenberg told the assembled students that he was trying to make it impossible for them to write music. Much later, Cage recounted the incident: "... When he said that, I revolted, not against him, but against what he had said. I determined then and there, more than ever before, to write music."<a href="#cite_note-Kostelanetz,_p._6-40">[38]</a> Although Schoenberg was not impressed with Cage's compositional abilities during these two years, in a later interview, where he initially said that none of his American pupils were interesting, he further stated in reference to Cage: "There was one ... of course he's not a composer, but he's an inventor—of genius."<a href="#cite_note-Kostelanetz,_p._6-40">[38]</a> Cage would later adopt the "inventor" moniker and deny that he was in fact a composer.<a href="#cite_note-Broyles-43">[41]</a> At some point in 1934–35, during his studies with Schoenberg, Cage was working at his mother's arts and crafts shop, where he met artist <a href="/wiki/Xenia_Andreyevna_Kashevaroff" class="mw-redirect" title="Xenia Andreyevna Kashevaroff">Xenia Andreyevna Kashevaroff</a>.

He produced music for choreographies and at one point taught a course on "Musical Accompaniments for Rhythmic Expression" at UCLA, with his aunt Phoebe.<a href="#cite_note-Revill_1993,_55-46">[44]</a> It was during that time that Cage first started experimenting with unorthodox instruments, such as household items, metal sheets, and so on. This was inspired by <a href="/wiki/Oskar_Fischinger" title="Oskar Fischinger">Oskar Fischinger</a>, who told Cage that "everything in the world has a spirit that can be released through its sound." Although Cage did not share the idea of spirits, these words inspired him to begin exploring the sounds produced by hitting various non-musical objects.<a href="#cite_note-Revill_1993,_55-46">[44]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKostelanetz200343-47">[45]</a> In 1938, on Cowell's recommendation, Cage drove to San Francisco to find employment and to seek out fellow Cowell student and composer <a href="/wiki/Lou_Harrison" title="Lou Harrison">Lou Harrison</a>. According to Cowell, the two composers had a shared interest in percussion and dance and would likely hit it off if introduced to one another. Indeed, the two immediately established a strong bond upon meeting and began a working relationship that continued for several years. Harrison soon helped Cage to secure a faculty member position at <a href="/wiki/Mills_College" class="mw-redirect" title="Mills College">Mills College</a>, teaching the same program as at UCLA, and collaborating with choreographer <a href="/wiki/Marian_van_Tuyl" title="Marian van Tuyl">Marian van Tuyl</a>. Several famous dance groups were present, and Cage's interest in modern dance grew further.<a href="#cite_note-Revill_1993,_55-46">[44]</a> After several months he left and moved to <a href="/wiki/Seattle" title="Seattle">Seattle</a>, Washington, where he found work as composer and accompanist for choreographer <a href="/wiki/Bonnie_Bird" title="Bonnie Bird">Bonnie Bird</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Cornish_College_of_the_Arts" title="Cornish College of the Arts">Cornish College of the Arts</a>. The Cornish School years proved to be a particularly important period in Cage's life. Aside from teaching and working as accompanist, Cage organized a percussion ensemble that toured the West Coast and brought the composer his first fame. His reputation was enhanced further with the invention of the prepared piano—a piano which has had its sound altered by objects placed on, beneath or between the strings—in 1940. This concept was originally intended for a performance staged in a room too small to include a full percussion ensemble. It was also at the Cornish School that Cage met several people who became lifelong friends, such as painter <a href="/wiki/Mark_Tobey" title="Mark Tobey">Mark Tobey</a> and dancer <a href="/wiki/Merce_Cunningham" title="Merce Cunningham">Merce Cunningham</a>. The latter was to become Cage's lifelong romantic partner and artistic collaborator. Cage left Seattle in the summer of 1941 after the painter <a href="/wiki/L%C3%A1szl%C3%B3_Moholy-Nagy" title="László Moholy-Nagy">László Moholy-Nagy</a> invited him to teach at the Chicago School of Design (what later became the <a href="/wiki/IIT_Institute_of_Design" class="mw-redirect" title="IIT Institute of Design">IIT Institute of Design</a>). The composer accepted partly because he hoped to find opportunities in Chicago, that were not available in Seattle, to organize a center for experimental music. These opportunities did not materialize. Cage taught at the Chicago School of Design and worked as accompanist and composer at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Chicago" title="University of Chicago">University of Chicago</a>. At one point, his reputation as percussion composer landed him a commission from the <a href="/wiki/Columbia_Broadcasting_System" class="mw-redirect" title="Columbia Broadcasting System">Columbia Broadcasting System</a> to compose a soundtrack for a radio play by <a href="/wiki/Kenneth_Patchen" title="Kenneth Patchen">Kenneth Patchen</a>. The result, The City Wears a Slouch Hat, was received well, and Cage deduced that more important commissions would follow. Hoping to find these, he left Chicago for New York City in the spring of 1942. In New York, the Cages first stayed with painter <a href="/wiki/Max_Ernst" title="Max Ernst">Max Ernst</a> and <a href="/wiki/Peggy_Guggenheim" title="Peggy Guggenheim">Peggy Guggenheim</a>. Through them, Cage met important artists such as <a href="/wiki/Piet_Mondrian" title="Piet Mondrian">Piet Mondrian</a>, <a href="/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Breton" title="André Breton">André Breton</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jackson_Pollock" title="Jackson Pollock">Jackson Pollock</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Marcel_Duchamp" title="Marcel Duchamp">Marcel Duchamp</a>, and many others. Guggenheim was very supportive: the Cages could stay with her and Ernst for any length of time, and she offered to organize a concert of Cage's music at the opening of her gallery, which included paying for transportation of Cage's percussion instruments from Chicago. After she learned that Cage secured another concert, at the <a href="/wiki/Museum_of_Modern_Art" title="Museum of Modern Art">Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)</a>, Guggenheim withdrew all support, and, even after the ultimately successful MoMA concert, Cage was left homeless, unemployed and penniless. The commissions he hoped for did not happen. He and Xenia spent the summer of 1942 with dancer <a href="/wiki/Jean_Erdman" title="Jean Erdman">Jean Erdman</a> and her husband <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Campbell" title="Joseph Campbell">Joseph Campbell</a>. Without the percussion instruments, Cage again turned to prepared piano, producing a substantial body of works for performances by various choreographers, including Merce Cunningham, who had moved to New York City several years earlier. Cage and Cunningham eventually became romantically involved, and Cage's marriage, already breaking up during the early 1940s, ended in divorce in 1945. Cunningham remained Cage's partner for the rest of his life. Cage also countered the lack of percussion instruments by writing, on one occasion, for voice and closed piano: the resulting piece, <a href="/wiki/The_Wonderful_Widow_of_Eighteen_Springs" title="The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs">The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs</a> (1942), quickly became popular and was performed by the celebrated duo of <a href="/wiki/Cathy_Berberian" title="Cathy Berberian">Cathy Berberian</a> and <a href="/wiki/Luciano_Berio" title="Luciano Berio">Luciano Berio</a>.<a href="#cite_note-48">[46]</a> In 1944, he appeared in <a href="/wiki/Maya_Deren" title="Maya Deren">Maya Deren</a>'s <a href="/wiki/At_Land" title="At Land">At Land</a>, a 15-minute silent experimental film. Like his personal life, Cage's artistic life went through a crisis in mid-1940s. The composer was experiencing a growing disillusionment with the idea of music as means of communication: the public rarely accepted his work, and Cage himself, too, had trouble understanding the music of his colleagues. In early 1946 Cage agreed to tutor <a href="/wiki/Gita_Sarabhai" title="Gita Sarabhai">Gita Sarabhai</a>, an Indian musician who came to the US to study Western music. In return, he asked her to teach him about Indian music and philosophy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECage1973127-49">[47]</a> Cage also attended, in late 1940s and early 1950s, <a href="/wiki/D._T._Suzuki" title="D.

More important was Cage's chance encounter with <a href="/wiki/Morton_Feldman" title="Morton Feldman">Morton Feldman</a> in New York City in early 1950. Both composers attended a <a href="/wiki/New_York_Philharmonic" title="New York Philharmonic">New York Philharmonic</a> concert, where the orchestra performed Anton Webern's <a href="/wiki/Symphony_(Webern)" title="Symphony (Webern)">Symphony</a>, followed by a piece by <a href="/wiki/Sergei_Rachmaninoff" title="Sergei Rachmaninoff">Sergei Rachmaninoff</a>.

This version of the I Ching was the first complete English translation and had been published by Wolff's father, <a href="/wiki/Kurt_Wolff_(publisher)" title="Kurt Wolff (publisher)">Kurt Wolff</a> of <a href="/wiki/Pantheon_Books" title="Pantheon Books">Pantheon Books</a> in 1950. The I Ching is commonly used for <a href="/wiki/Divination" title="Divination">divination</a>, but for Cage it became a tool to compose using chance.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECage197360-58">[56]</a> To compose a piece of music, Cage would come up with questions to ask the I Ching; the book would then be used in much the same way as it is used for divination. For Cage, this meant "imitating nature in its manner of operation".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPritchett199397-59">[57]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERevill199391-60">[58]</a> His lifelong interest in sound itself culminated in an approach that yielded works in which sounds were free from the composer's will: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">When I hear what we call music, it seems to me that someone is talking. And talking about his feelings, or about his ideas of relationships. But when I hear traffic, the sound of traffic—here on Sixth Avenue, for instance—I don't have the feeling that anyone is talking. I have the feeling that sound is acting. And I love the activity of sound ... I don't need sound to talk to me.<a href="#cite_note-61">[59]</a></blockquote> Although Cage had used chance on a few earlier occasions, most notably in the third movement of Concerto for Prepared Piano and Chamber Orchestra (1950–51),<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPritchett199371-62">[60]</a> the I Ching opened new possibilities in this field for him. The first results of the new approach were <a href="/wiki/Imaginary_Landscape" title="Imaginary Landscape">Imaginary Landscape No. 4</a> for 12 radio receivers, and <a href="/wiki/Music_of_Changes" title="Music of Changes">Music of Changes</a> for piano. The latter work was written for David Tudor,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPritchett199378-63">[61]</a> whom Cage met through Feldman—another friendship that lasted until Cage's death.<a href="#cite_note-64">[c]</a> Tudor premiered most of Cage's works until the early 1960s, when he stopped performing on the piano and concentrated on composing music. The I Ching became Cage's standard tool for composition: he used it in practically every work composed after 1951, and eventually settled on a computer algorithm that calculated numbers in a manner similar to throwing coins for the I Ching. Despite the fame Sonatas and Interludes earned him, and the connections he cultivated with American and European composers and musicians, Cage was quite poor. Although he still had an apartment at 326 <a href="/wiki/Monroe_Street_(Baltimore)" class="mw-redirect" title="Monroe Street (Baltimore)">Monroe Street</a> (which he occupied since around 1946), his financial situation in 1951 worsened so much that while working on Music of Changes, he prepared a set of instructions for Tudor as to how to complete the piece in the event of his death.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERevill1993142-65">[62]</a> Nevertheless, Cage managed to survive and maintained an active artistic life, giving lectures and performances, etc. In 1952–1953 he completed another mammoth project—the <a href="/wiki/Williams_Mix" title="Williams Mix">Williams Mix</a>, a piece of <a href="/wiki/Tape_music" class="mw-redirect" title="Tape music">tape music</a>, which <a href="/wiki/Earle_Brown" title="Earle Brown">Earle Brown</a> and <a href="/wiki/Morton_Feldman" title="Morton Feldman">Morton Feldman</a> helped to put together.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERevill1993143–149-66">[63]</a> Also in 1952, Cage composed the piece that became his best-known and most controversial creation: <a href="/wiki/4%E2%80%B233%E2%80%B3" title="4′33″">4′33″</a>. The score instructs the performer not to play the instrument during the entire duration of the piece—four minutes, thirty-three seconds—and is meant to be perceived as consisting of the sounds of the environment that the listeners hear while it is performed. Cage conceived "a silent piece" years earlier, but was reluctant to write it down; and indeed, the premiere (given by Tudor on August 29, 1952, at <a href="/wiki/Woodstock,_New_York" title="Woodstock, New York">Woodstock, New York</a>) caused an uproar in the audience.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERevill1993166-67">[64]</a> The reaction to 4′33″ was just a part of the larger picture: on the whole, it was the adoption of chance procedures that had disastrous consequences for Cage's reputation. The press, which used to react favorably to earlier percussion and prepared piano music, ignored his new works, and many valuable friendships and connections were lost. Pierre Boulez, who used to promote Cage's work in Europe, was opposed to Cage's particular approach to the use of chance, and so were other composers who came to prominence during the 1950s, e.g. <a href="/wiki/Karlheinz_Stockhausen" title="Karlheinz Stockhausen">Karlheinz Stockhausen</a>.<a href="#cite_note-68">[65]</a> During this time Cage was also teaching at the avant-garde <a href="/wiki/Black_Mountain_College" title="Black Mountain College">Black Mountain College</a> just outside <a href="/wiki/Asheville,_North_Carolina" title="Asheville, North Carolina">Asheville, North Carolina</a>. Cage taught at the college in the summers of 1948 and 1952 and was in residence the summer of 1953. While at Black Mountain College in 1952, he organized what has been called the first "<a href="/wiki/Happening" title="Happening">happening</a>" (see discussion below) in the United States, later titled Theatre Piece No. 1, a multi-layered, multi-media performance event staged the same day as Cage conceived it that "that would greatly influence 1950s and 60s artistic practices". In addition to Cage, the participants included Cunningham and Tudor.<a href="#cite_note-69">[66]</a> From 1953 onward, Cage was busy composing music for modern dance, particularly Cunningham's dances (Cage's partner adopted chance too, out of fascination for the movement of the human body), as well as developing new methods of using chance, in a series of works he referred to as The Ten Thousand Things. In the summer of 1954 he moved out of New York and settled in <a href="/wiki/Gate_Hill_Cooperative" title="Gate Hill Cooperative">Gate Hill Cooperative</a>, a community in <a href="/wiki/Stony_Point,_New_York" title="Stony Point, New York">Stony Point, New York</a>, where his neighbors included David Tudor, <a href="/wiki/M._C._Richards" title="M.

The composer's financial situation gradually improved: in late 1954 he and Tudor were able to embark on a European tour. From 1956 to 1961 Cage taught classes in experimental composition at The New School, and from 1956 to 1958 he also worked as an art director and designer of typography.<a href="#cite_note-compendium-70">[67]</a> Among his works completed during the last years of the decade were Concert for Piano and Orchestra (1957–58), a seminal work in the history of <a href="/wiki/Graphic_notation_(music)" title="Graphic notation (music)">graphic notation</a>,<a href="#cite_note-71">[68]</a> and <a href="/wiki/Variations_(Cage)" title="Variations (Cage)">Variations I</a> (1958). <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1960s:_Fame">1960s: Fame</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Cage&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: 1960s: Fame">edit</a>]</div> Cage was affiliated with <a href="/wiki/Wesleyan_University" title="Wesleyan University">Wesleyan University</a> and collaborated with members of its music department from the 1950s until his death in 1992. At the university, the philosopher, poet, and professor of classics <a href="/wiki/Norman_O._Brown" title="Norman O. Brown">Norman O. Brown</a> befriended Cage, an association that proved fruitful to both.<a href="#cite_note-72">[69]</a><a href="#cite_note-73">[70]</a> In 1960 the composer was appointed a fellow on the faculty of the Center for Advanced Studies (now the Center for Humanities) in the Liberal Arts and Sciences at Wesleyan,<a href="#cite_note-74">[71]</a> where he started teaching classes in experimental music. In October 1961, <a href="/wiki/Wesleyan_University_Press" title="Wesleyan University Press">Wesleyan University Press</a> published Silence, a collection of Cage's lectures and writings on a wide variety of subjects, including the famous Lecture on Nothing that was composed using a complex time length scheme, much like some of Cage's music. Silence was Cage's first book of six but it remains his most widely read and influential.<a href="#cite_note-75">[d]</a><a href="#cite_note-Pritchett,_Grove-31">[30]</a> In the early 1960s Cage began his lifelong association with <a href="/wiki/Edition_Peters" title="Edition Peters">C.F. Peters Corporation</a>. Walter Hinrichsen, the president of the corporation, offered Cage an exclusive contract and instigated the publication of a catalog of Cage's works, which appeared in 1962.<a href="#cite_note-compendium-70">[67]</a> Edition Peters soon published a large number of scores by Cage, and this, together with the publication of Silence, led to much higher prominence for the composer than ever before—one of the positive consequences of this was that in 1965 <a href="/wiki/Betty_Freeman" title="Betty Freeman">Betty Freeman</a> set up an annual grant for living expenses for Cage, to be issued from 1965 to his death.<a href="#cite_note-76">[72]</a> By the mid-1960s, Cage was receiving so many commissions and requests for appearances that he was unable to fulfill them. This was accompanied by a busy touring schedule; consequently Cage's compositional output from that decade was scant.<a href="#cite_note-Pritchett,_Grove-31">[30]</a> After the orchestral Atlas Eclipticalis (1961–62), a work based on <a href="/wiki/Star_chart" title="Star chart">star charts</a>, which was fully notated, Cage gradually shifted to, in his own words, "music (not composition)." The score of <a href="/wiki/0%2700%22" class="mw-redirect" title="0'00"">0′00″</a>, completed in 1962, originally comprised a single sentence: "In a situation provided with maximum amplification, perform a disciplined action", and in the first performance the disciplined action was Cage writing that sentence. The score of <a href="/wiki/Variations_(Cage)" title="Variations (Cage)">Variations III</a> (1962) abounds in instructions to the performers, but makes no references to music, musical instruments, or sounds. Many of the Variations and other 1960s pieces were in fact "<a href="/wiki/Happening" title="Happening">happenings</a>", an art form established by Cage and his students in late 1950s. Cage's "Experimental Composition" classes at The New School have become legendary as an American source of <a href="/wiki/Fluxus" title="Fluxus">Fluxus</a>, an international network of artists, composers, and designers. The majority of his students had little or no background in music. Most were artists. They included <a href="/wiki/Jackson_Mac_Low" title="Jackson Mac Low">Jackson Mac Low</a>, <a href="/wiki/Allan_Kaprow" title="Allan Kaprow">Allan Kaprow</a>, <a href="/wiki/Al_Hansen" title="Al Hansen">Al Hansen</a>, <a href="/wiki/George_Brecht" title="George Brecht">George Brecht</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ben_Patterson" title="Ben Patterson">Ben Patterson</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Dick_Higgins" title="Dick Higgins">Dick Higgins</a>, as well as many others Cage invited unofficially. Famous pieces that resulted from the classes include George Brecht's Time Table Music and Al Hansen's Alice Denham in 48 Seconds.<a href="#cite_note-77">[73]</a> As set forth by Cage, happenings were theatrical events that abandon the traditional concept of stage-audience and occur without a sense of definite duration. Instead, they are left to chance. They have a minimal script, with no plot. In fact, a "happening" is so-named because it occurs in the present, attempting to arrest the concept of passing time. Cage believed that theater was the closest route to integrating art and real life. The term "happenings" was coined by Allan Kaprow, one of his students, who defined it as a genre in the late fifties. Cage met Kaprow while on a mushroom hunt with <a href="/wiki/George_Segal_(artist)" title="George Segal (artist)">George Segal</a> and invited him to join his class. In following these developments Cage was strongly influenced by <a href="/wiki/Antonin_Artaud" title="Antonin Artaud">Antonin Artaud</a>'s seminal treatise <a href="/wiki/The_Theatre_and_Its_Double" title="The Theatre and Its Double">The Theatre and Its Double</a>, and the happenings of this period can be viewed as a forerunner to the ensuing Fluxus movement. In October 1960, <a href="/wiki/Mary_Bauermeister" title="Mary Bauermeister">Mary Bauermeister</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Cologne" title="Cologne">Cologne</a> studio hosted a joint concert by Cage and the video artist <a href="/wiki/Nam_June_Paik" title="Nam June Paik">Nam June Paik</a> (Cage's friend and mentee), who in the course of his performance of Etude for Piano cut off Cage's tie and then poured a bottle of shampoo over the heads of Cage and Tudor.<a href="#cite_note-78">[74]</a> In 1967, Cage's book <a href="/wiki/A_Year_from_Monday" title="A Year from Monday">A Year from Monday</a> was first published by Wesleyan University Press. Cage's parents died during the decade: his father in 1964,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERevill1993208-79">[75]</a> and his mother in 1969. Cage had their ashes scattered in <a href="/wiki/Ramapo_Mountains" title="Ramapo Mountains">Ramapo Mountains</a>, near Stony Point, and asked for the same to be done to him after his death.<a href="#cite_note-Revill_228-80">[76]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1969–1987:_New_departures">1969–1987: New departures</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Cage&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: 1969–1987: New departures">edit</a>]</div> Cage's work from the sixties features some of his largest and most ambitious, not to mention socially utopian pieces, reflecting the mood of the era yet also his absorption of the writings of both <a href="/wiki/Marshall_McLuhan" title="Marshall McLuhan">Marshall McLuhan</a>, on the effects of new media, and <a href="/wiki/R._Buckminster_Fuller" class="mw-redirect" title="R.

The piece was initially rendered in a five-hour performance at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Illinois" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Illinois">University of Illinois</a> in 1969, in which the audience arrived after the piece had begun and left before it ended, wandering freely around the auditorium in the time for which they were there.<a href="#cite_note-81">[77]</a> Also in 1969, Cage produced the first fully notated work in years: <a href="/wiki/Cheap_Imitation" title="Cheap Imitation">Cheap Imitation</a> for piano. The piece is a chance-controlled reworking of <a href="/wiki/Erik_Satie" title="Erik Satie">Erik Satie</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Socrate" title="Socrate">Socrate</a>, and, as both listeners and Cage himself noted, openly sympathetic to its source. Although Cage's affection for Satie's music was well-known, it was highly unusual for him to compose a personal work, one in which the composer is present. When asked about this apparent contradiction, Cage replied: "Obviously, Cheap Imitation lies outside of what may seem necessary in my work in general, and that's disturbing. I'm the first to be disturbed by it."<a href="#cite_note-82">[78]</a> Cage's fondness for the piece resulted in a recording—a rare occurrence, since Cage disliked making recordings of his music—made in 1976.<a href="#cite_note-83">[79]</a> Overall, Cheap Imitation marked a major change in Cage's music: he turned again to writing fully notated works for traditional instruments, and tried out several new approaches, such as <a href="/wiki/Improvisation" title="Improvisation">improvisation</a>, which he previously discouraged, but was able to use in works from the 1970s, such as Child of Tree (1975).<a href="#cite_note-84">[80]</a> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1235681985">.mw-parser-output .side-box{margin:4px 0;box-sizing:border-box;border:1px solid #aaa;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em;background-color:var(--background-color-interactive-subtle,#f8f9fa);display:flow-root}.mw-parser-output .side-box-abovebelow,.mw-parser-output .side-box-text{padding:0.25em 0.9em}.mw-parser-output .side-box-image{padding:2px 0 2px 0.9em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .side-box-imageright{padding:2px 0.9em 2px 0;text-align:center}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .side-box-flex{display:flex;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .side-box-text{flex:1;min-width:0}}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .side-box{width:238px}.mw-parser-output .side-box-right{clear:right;float:right;margin-left:1em}.mw-parser-output .side-box-left{margin-right:1em}}</style><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1096940132">.mw-parser-output .listen .side-box-text{line-height:1.1em}.mw-parser-output .listen-plain{border:none;background:transparent}.mw-parser-output .listen-embedded{width:100%;margin:0;border-width:1px 0 0 0;background:transparent}.mw-parser-output .listen-header{padding:2px}.mw-parser-output .listen-embedded .listen-header{padding:2px 0}.mw-parser-output .listen-file-header{padding:4px 0}.mw-parser-output .listen .description{padding-top:2px}.mw-parser-output .listen .mw-tmh-player{max-width:100%}@media(max-width:719px){.mw-parser-output .listen{clear:both}}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .listen:not(.listen-noimage){width:320px}.mw-parser-output .listen-left{overflow:visible;float:left}.mw-parser-output .listen-center{float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto}}</style><div class="side-box side-box-right listen noprint"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1126788409">.mw-parser-output .plainlist ol,.mw-parser-output .plainlist ul{line-height:inherit;list-style:none;margin:0;padding:0}.mw-parser-output .plainlist ol li,.mw-parser-output .plainlist ul li{margin-bottom:0}</style> <div class="side-box-flex"> <div class="side-box-image"><figure class="mw-halign-center" typeof="mw:File"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Gnome-mime-audio-openclipart.svg/50px-Gnome-mime-audio-openclipart.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="50" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Gnome-mime-audio-openclipart.svg/75px-Gnome-mime-audio-openclipart.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Gnome-mime-audio-openclipart.svg/100px-Gnome-mime-audio-openclipart.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="160" data-file-height="160" /><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div> <div class="side-box-text plainlist"><div class="haudio"> <div class="listen-file-header"><a href="/wiki/File:Cage-cheap-imitation-exceprt.ogg" title="File:Cage-cheap-imitation-exceprt.ogg">Opening bars of Cheap Imitation (1969)</a></div> <div><audio id="mwe_player_0" controls="" preload="none" data-mw-tmh="" class="mw-file-element" width="232" style="width:232px;" data-durationhint="40" data-mwtitle="Cage-cheap-imitation-exceprt.ogg" data-mwprovider="local"><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8d/Cage-cheap-imitation-exceprt.ogg" type="audio/ogg; codecs="vorbis"" data-width="0" data-height="0" /><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/transcoded/8/8d/Cage-cheap-imitation-exceprt.ogg/Cage-cheap-imitation-exceprt.ogg.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" data-transcodekey="mp3" data-width="0" data-height="0" /></audio></div> <div class="description">Performed by the composer in 1976, shortly before he had to retire from performing</div></div></div></div> <div class="side-box-abovebelow"><hr />Problems playing this file?

Preparing manuscripts also became difficult: before, published versions of pieces were done in Cage's calligraphic script; now, manuscripts for publication had to be completed by assistants. Matters were complicated further by David Tudor's departure from performing, which happened in the early 1970s. Tudor decided to concentrate on composition instead, and so Cage, for the first time in two decades, had to start relying on commissions from other performers, and their respective abilities. Such performers included <a href="/wiki/Grete_Sultan" title="Grete Sultan">Grete Sultan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Paul_Zukofsky" title="Paul Zukofsky">Paul Zukofsky</a>, <a href="/wiki/Margaret_Leng_Tan" title="Margaret Leng Tan">Margaret Leng Tan</a>, and many others.

Cage went on to write some forty such <a href="/wiki/Number_Pieces" title="Number Pieces">Number Pieces</a>, as they came to be known, one of the last being Eighty (1992, premiered in Munich on October 28, 2011), usually employing a variant of the same technique. The process of composition, in many of the later Number Pieces, was simple selection of pitch range and pitches from that range, using chance procedures;<a href="#cite_note-Pritchett,_Grove-31">[30]</a> the music has been linked to Cage's anarchic leanings.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHaskins2004-87">[83]</a> <a href="/wiki/One11" title="One11">One11</a> (i.e., the eleventh piece for a single performer), completed in early 1992, was Cage's first and only foray into film. Cage conceived his last musical work with <a href="/wiki/Michael_Bach_(musician)" title="Michael Bach (musician)">Michael Bach Bachtischa</a>: "ONE13" for violoncello with <a href="/wiki/Curved_bow" title="Curved bow">curved bow</a> and three loudspeakers, which was published years later. Another new direction, also taken in 1987, was opera: Cage produced five operas, all sharing the same title Europera, in 1987–91. Europeras I and II require greater forces than III, IV and V, which are on a chamber scale. They were commissioned by the <a href="/wiki/Frankfurt_Opera" class="mw-redirect" title="Frankfurt Opera">Frankfurt Opera</a> to celebrate his seventy-fifth birthday, and according to music critic <a href="/wiki/Mark_Swed" title="Mark Swed">Mark Swed</a>, they took "an enormous effort on the composer's part–requiring two full-time assistants and two computers humming day and night."<a href="#cite_note-:0-88">[84]</a> These pieces caused quite a stir in the world of opera at the time with their unconventional methods for staging and sequencing. Many standard pieces of operatic repertoire were used, but not in any preset order; rather, they were selected by chance, meaning no two performances were exactly alike. Many of those who were to be a part of these performances refused to participate, citing the impossibility of the requests Cage was making. Days before Europas 1 & 2 were to be premiered,  Frankfurt's opera house burned down, setting into motion a series of setbacks leading to a theatrical run met with mixed reactions, including a performance so bad that Cage penned a letter to his musicians criticizing their interpretation of his composition.<a href="#cite_note-:0-88">[84]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:John_Cage_and_Michael_Bach_in_Assissi_1992.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/John_Cage_and_Michael_Bach_in_Assissi_1992.jpg/220px-John_Cage_and_Michael_Bach_in_Assissi_1992.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="276" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/John_Cage_and_Michael_Bach_in_Assissi_1992.jpg/330px-John_Cage_and_Michael_Bach_in_Assissi_1992.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/John_Cage_and_Michael_Bach_in_Assissi_1992.jpg/440px-John_Cage_and_Michael_Bach_in_Assissi_1992.jpg 2x" data-file-width="754" data-file-height="947" /></a><figcaption>John Cage (left) and <a href="/wiki/Michael_Bach_(musician)" title="Michael Bach (musician)">Michael Bach</a> in Assisi, Italy, 1992</figcaption></figure> In the course of the 1980s, Cage's health worsened progressively.

On August 11, 1992, while preparing evening tea for himself and Cunningham, Cage had another stroke.

According to the composer, the earliest works were very short pieces for piano, composed using complex mathematical procedures and lacking in "sensual appeal and expressive power."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPritchett19936-92">[88]</a> Cage then started producing pieces by improvising and writing down the results, until Richard Buhlig stressed to him the importance of structure. Most works from the early 1930s, such as <a href="/wiki/Sonata_for_Clarinet_(Cage)" title="Sonata for Clarinet (Cage)">Sonata for Clarinet</a> (1933) and Composition for 3 Voices (1934), are highly <a href="/wiki/Chromaticism" title="Chromaticism">chromatic</a> and betray Cage's interest in <a href="/wiki/Counterpoint" title="Counterpoint">counterpoint</a>. Around the same time, the composer also developed a type of a tone row technique with 25-note rows.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPritchett19937-93">[89]</a> After studies with Schoenberg, who never taught <a href="/wiki/Dodecaphony" class="mw-redirect" title="Dodecaphony">dodecaphony</a> to his students, Cage developed another tone row technique, in which the row was split into short motives, which would then be repeated and transposed according to a set of rules. This approach was first used in Two Pieces for Piano (<abbr title="circa">c.</abbr> 1935), and then, with modifications, in larger works such as Metamorphosis and Five Songs (both 1938). <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Sonatas-interludes-sonata3graph.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Sonatas-interludes-sonata3graph.gif/300px-Sonatas-interludes-sonata3graph.gif" decoding="async" width="300" height="248" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Sonatas-interludes-sonata3graph.gif/450px-Sonatas-interludes-sonata3graph.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Sonatas-interludes-sonata3graph.gif/600px-Sonatas-interludes-sonata3graph.gif 2x" data-file-width="733" data-file-height="606" /></a><figcaption>Rhythmic proportions in Sonata III of Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano</figcaption></figure> Soon after Cage started writing percussion music and music for modern dance, he started using a technique that placed the rhythmic structure of the piece into the foreground. In <a href="/wiki/Imaginary_Landscape_No._1" title="Imaginary Landscape No. 1">Imaginary Landscape No. 1</a> (1939) there are four large sections of 16, 17, 18, and 19 bars, and each section is divided into four subsections, the first three of which were all 5 bars long. <a href="/wiki/Construction_(Cage)" title="Construction (Cage)">First Construction (in Metal)</a> (1939) expands on the concept: there are five sections of 4, 3, 2, 3, and 4 units respectively. Each unit contains 16 bars, and is divided the same way: 4 bars, 3 bars, 2 bars, etc. Finally, the musical content of the piece is based on sixteen motives.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENicholls200271–74-94">[90]</a> Such "nested proportions", as Cage called them, became a regular feature of his music throughout the 1940s. The technique was elevated to great complexity in later pieces such as Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano (1946–48), in which many proportions used non-integer numbers (1¼, ¾, 1¼, ¾, 1½, and 1½ for Sonata I, for example),<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPritchett199329–33-95">[91]</a> or <a href="/wiki/A_Flower" title="A Flower">A Flower</a>, a song for voice and closed piano, in which two sets of proportions are used simultaneously.<a href="#cite_note-96">[92]</a> In late 1940s, Cage started developing further methods of breaking away with traditional harmony. For instance, in String Quartet in Four Parts (1950) Cage first composed a number of gamuts: chords with fixed instrumentation. The piece progresses from one gamut to another. In each instance the gamut was selected only based on whether it contains the note necessary for the melody, and so the rest of the notes do not form any directional harmony.<a href="#cite_note-Pritchett,_Grove-31">[30]</a> Concerto for prepared piano (1950–51) used a system of charts of durations, dynamics, melodies, etc., from which Cage would choose using simple geometric patterns.<a href="#cite_note-Pritchett,_Grove-31">[30]</a> The last movement of the concerto was a step towards using chance procedures, which Cage adopted soon afterwards.<a href="#cite_note-97">[93]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chance">Chance</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Cage&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Chance">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:King_Wen_(I_Ching).svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/King_Wen_%28I_Ching%29.svg/250px-King_Wen_%28I_Ching%29.svg.png" decoding="async" width="250" height="249" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/King_Wen_%28I_Ching%29.svg/375px-King_Wen_%28I_Ching%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b1/King_Wen_%28I_Ching%29.svg/500px-King_Wen_%28I_Ching%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="679" data-file-height="676" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/I_Ching_divination" title="I Ching divination">I Ching divination</a> involves obtaining a hexagram by <a href="/wiki/Random_generation" class="mw-redirect" title="Random generation">random generation</a> (such as <a href="/wiki/Coin_flipping" title="Coin flipping">tossing coins</a>), then reading the chapter associated with that hexagram.</figcaption></figure> A chart system was also used (along with nested proportions) for the large piano work Music of Changes (1951), only here material would be selected from the charts by using the I Ching. All of Cage's music since 1951 was composed using chance procedures, most commonly using the I Ching. For example, works from Music for Piano were based on paper imperfections: the imperfections themselves provided pitches, coin tosses and I Ching hexagram numbers were used to determine the accidentals, clefs, and playing techniques.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPritchett199394-98">[94]</a> A whole series of works was created by applying chance operations, i.e. the I Ching, to <a href="/wiki/Star_chart" title="Star chart">star charts</a>: Atlas Eclipticalis (1961–62), and a series of etudes: Etudes Australes (1974–75), <a href="/wiki/Freeman_Etudes" title="Freeman Etudes">Freeman Etudes</a> (1977–90), and <a href="/wiki/Etudes_Boreales" title="Etudes Boreales">Etudes Boreales</a> (1978).<a href="#cite_note-Nicholls_2002,_139-99">[95]</a> Cage's etudes are all extremely difficult to perform, a characteristic dictated by Cage's social and political views: the difficulty would ensure that "a performance would show that the impossible is not impossible"<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPerloffJunkerman1994140-100">[96]</a>—this being Cage's answer to the notion that solving the world's political and social problems is impossible.<a href="#cite_note-101">[97]</a> Cage described himself as an anarchist, and was influenced by <a href="/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau" title="Henry David Thoreau">Henry David Thoreau</a>.<a href="#cite_note-103">[e]</a> Another series of works applied chance procedures to pre-existing music by other composers: Cheap Imitation (1969; based on Erik Satie), Some of "The Harmony of Maine" (1978; based on <a href="/wiki/Supply_Belcher" title="Supply Belcher">Belcher</a>), and Hymns and Variations (1979). In these works, Cage would borrow the rhythmic structure of the originals and fill it with pitches determined through chance procedures, or just replace some of the originals' pitches.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPritchett1993197-104">[99]</a> Yet another series of works, the so-called Number Pieces, all completed during the last five years of the composer's life, make use of time brackets: the score consists of short fragments with indications of when to start and to end them (e.g. from anywhere between 1′15" and 1′45", and to anywhere from 2′00" to 2′30").<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPritchett1993200-105">[100]</a> Cage's method of using the I Ching was far from simple randomization. The procedures varied from composition to composition, and were usually complex. For example, in the case of Cheap Imitation, the exact questions asked to the I Ching were these: <ol><li>Which of the seven modes, if we take as modes the seven <a href="/wiki/Scale_(music)" title="Scale (music)">scales</a> beginning on white notes and remaining on white notes, which of those am I using?</li> <li>Which of the twelve possible chromatic <a href="/wiki/Transposition_(music)" title="Transposition (music)">transpositions</a> am I using?</li> <li>For this phrase for which this transposition of this mode will apply, which note am I using of the seven to imitate the note that Satie wrote?<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKostelanetz200384-106">[101]</a></li></ol> In another example of late music by Cage, Etudes Australes, the compositional procedure involved placing a transparent strip on the star chart, identifying the pitches from the chart, transferring them to paper, then asking the I Ching which of these pitches were to remain single, and which should become parts of aggregates (chords), and the aggregates were selected from a table of some 550 possible aggregates, compiled beforehand.<a href="#cite_note-Nicholls_2002,_139-99">[95]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKostelanetz200392-107">[102]</a> Finally, some of Cage's works, particularly those completed during the 1960s, feature instructions to the performer, rather than fully notated music. The score of Variations I (1958) presents the performer with six transparent squares, one with points of various sizes, five with five intersecting lines. The performer combines the squares and uses lines and points as a <a href="/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system" title="Cartesian coordinate system">coordinate system</a>, in which the lines are axes of various characteristics of the sounds, such as lowest frequency, simplest overtone structure, etc.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPritchett1993136-108">[103]</a> Some of Cage's graphic scores (e.g. Concert for Piano and Orchestra, Fontana Mix (both 1958)) present the performer with similar difficulties. Still other works from the same period consist just of text instructions. The score of 0′00″ (1962; also known as 4′33″ No. 2) consists of a single sentence: "In a situation provided with maximum amplification, perform a disciplined action." The first performance had Cage write that sentence.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPritchett1993144–146-109">[104]</a> Musicircus (1967) simply invites the performers to assemble and play together. The first Musicircus featured multiple performers and groups in a large space who were all to commence and stop playing at two particular time periods, with instructions on when to play individually or in groups within these two periods. The result was a mass superimposition of many different musics on top of one another as determined by chance distribution, producing an event with a specifically theatric feel. Many Musicircuses have subsequently been held, and continue to occur even after Cage's death. The <a href="/wiki/English_National_Opera" title="English National Opera">English National Opera</a> (ENO) became the first opera company to hold a Cage Musicircus on March 3, 2012, at the <a href="/wiki/London_Coliseum" title="London Coliseum">London Coliseum</a>.<a href="#cite_note-110">[105]</a><a href="#cite_note-111">[106]</a> The ENO's Musicircus featured artists including <a href="/wiki/Led_Zeppelin" title="Led Zeppelin">Led Zeppelin</a> bassist <a href="/wiki/John_Paul_Jones_(musician)" title="John Paul Jones (musician)">John Paul Jones</a> and composer <a href="/wiki/Michael_Finnissy" title="Michael Finnissy">Michael Finnissy</a> alongside ENO music director <a href="/wiki/Edward_Gardner_(conductor)" title="Edward Gardner (conductor)">Edward Gardner</a>, the ENO Community Choir, ENO Opera Works singers, and a collective of professional and amateur talents performing in the bars and front of house at London's Coliseum Opera House.<a href="#cite_note-112">[107]</a> This concept of circus was to remain important to Cage throughout his life and featured strongly in such pieces as <a href="/wiki/Roaratorio" title="Roaratorio">Roaratorio, an Irish circus on Finnegans Wake</a> (1979), a many-tiered rendering in sound of both his text Writing for the Second Time Through Finnegans Wake, and traditional musical and field recordings made around Ireland. The piece was based on James Joyce's famous novel, <a href="/wiki/Finnegans_Wake" title="Finnegans Wake">Finnegans Wake</a>, which was one of Cage's favorite books, and one from which he derived texts for several more of his works. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Improvisation">Improvisation</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Cage&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Improvisation">edit</a>]</div> Since chance procedures were used by Cage to eliminate the composer's and the performer's likes and dislikes from music, Cage disliked the concept of improvisation, which is inevitably linked to the performer's preferences. In a number of works beginning in the 1970s, he found ways to incorporate improvisation. In Child of Tree (1975) and Branches (1976) the performers are asked to use certain species of plants as instruments, for example the <a href="/wiki/Amplified_cactus" class="mw-redirect" title="Amplified cactus">cactus</a>. The structure of the pieces is determined through the chance of their choices, as is the musical output; the performers had no knowledge of the instruments. In Inlets (1977) the performers play large water-filled <a href="/wiki/Conch" title="Conch">conch</a> shells – by carefully tipping the shell several times, it is possible to achieve a bubble forming inside, which produced sound. Yet, as it is impossible to predict when this would happen, the performers had to continue tipping the shells – as a result the performance was dictated by pure chance.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKostelanetz200392–96-113">[108]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Visual_art,_writings,_and_other_activities">Visual art, writings, and other activities</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Cage&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Visual art, writings, and other activities">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cage-variations-iii-14-small.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/ba/Cage-variations-iii-14-small.jpg/260px-Cage-variations-iii-14-small.jpg" decoding="async" width="260" height="195" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/ba/Cage-variations-iii-14-small.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="300" data-file-height="225" /></a><figcaption>Variations III, No. 14, a 1992 print by Cage from a series of 57</figcaption></figure> Although Cage started painting in his youth, he gave it up to concentrate on music instead. His first mature visual project, Not Wanting to Say Anything About Marcel, dates from 1969. The work comprises two <a href="/wiki/Lithograph" class="mw-redirect" title="Lithograph">lithographs</a> and a group of what Cage called plexigrams: silk screen printing on <a href="/wiki/Plexiglas" class="mw-redirect" title="Plexiglas">plexiglas</a> panels. The panels and the lithographs all consist of bits and pieces of words in different typefaces, all governed by chance operations.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENicholls2002112–113-114">[109]</a> From 1978 to his death Cage worked at Crown Point Press, producing series of prints every year. The earliest project completed there was the etching Score Without Parts (1978), created from fully notated instructions, and based on various combinations of drawings by Henry David Thoreau. This was followed, the same year, by Seven Day Diary, which Cage drew with his eyes closed, but which conformed to a strict structure developed using chance operations. Finally, Thoreau's drawings informed the last works produced in 1978, Signals.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENicholls2002113–115-115">[110]</a> Between 1979 and 1982 Cage produced a number of large series of prints: Changes and Disappearances (1979–80), On the Surface (1980–82), and Déreau (1982). These were the last works in which he used engraving.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENicholls2002115–118-116">[111]</a> In 1983 he started using various unconventional materials such as cotton batting, foam, etc., and then used stones and fire (Eninka, Variations, Ryoanji, etc.) to create his visual works.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENicholls2002118–122-117">[112]</a> In 1988–1990 he produced watercolors at the Mountain Lake Workshop. The only film Cage produced was one of the Number Pieces, One11, commissioned by composer and film director <a href="/wiki/Henning_Lohner" title="Henning Lohner">Henning Lohner</a> who worked with Cage to produce and direct the 90-minute monochrome film. It was completed only weeks before his death in 1992. One11 consists entirely of images of chance-determined play of electric light. It premiered in Cologne, Germany, on September 19, 1992, accompanied by the live performance of the orchestra piece 103. Throughout his adult life, Cage was also active as lecturer and writer. Some of his lectures were included in several books he published, the first of which was Silence: Lectures and Writings (1961). Silence included not only simple lectures, but also texts executed in experimental layouts, and works such as Lecture on Nothing (1949), which were composed in rhythmic structures. Subsequent books also featured different types of content, from lectures on music to poetry—Cage's mesostics. Cage was also an avid amateur <a href="/wiki/Mycologist" class="mw-redirect" title="Mycologist">mycologist</a>.<a href="#cite_note-118">[113]</a> In the fall of 1969, he gave a lecture on the subject of edible mushrooms at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_California,_Davis" title="University of California, Davis">University of California, Davis</a> as part of his "Music in Dialogue" course.<a href="#cite_note-119">[114]</a> He co-founded the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Mycological_Society" title="New York Mycological Society">New York Mycological Society</a> with four friends,<a href="#cite_note-compendium-70">[67]</a> and his mycology collection is presently housed by the Special Collections department of the <a href="/wiki/McHenry_Library" title="McHenry Library">McHenry Library</a> at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_California,_Santa_Cruz" title="University of California, Santa Cruz">University of California, Santa Cruz</a>. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Reception_and_influence">Reception and influence</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Cage&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Reception and influence">edit</a>]</div> Cage's pre-chance works, particularly pieces from the late 1940s such as Sonatas and Interludes, earned critical acclaim: the Sonatas were performed at Carnegie Hall in 1949. Cage's adoption of chance operations in 1951 cost him a number of friendships and led to numerous criticisms from fellow composers. Adherents of <a href="/wiki/Serialism" title="Serialism">serialism</a> such as Pierre Boulez and Karlheinz Stockhausen dismissed indeterminate music; Boulez, who was once on friendly terms with Cage, criticized him for "adoption of a philosophy tinged with Orientalism that masks a basic weakness in compositional technique."<a href="#cite_note-120">[115]</a> Prominent critics of serialism, such as the Greek composer Iannis Xenakis, were similarly hostile towards Cage: for Xenakis, the adoption of chance in music was "an abuse of language and ... an abrogation of a composer's function."<a href="#cite_note-121">[116]</a> An article by teacher and critic <a href="/wiki/Michael_Steinberg_(music_critic)" title="Michael Steinberg (music critic)">Michael Steinberg</a>, Tradition and Responsibility, criticized avant-garde music in general: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">The rise of music that is totally without social commitment also increases the separation between composer and public, and represents still another form of departure from tradition. The cynicism with which this particular departure seems to have been made is perfectly symbolized in John Cage's account of a public lecture he had given: "Later, during the question period, I gave one of six previously prepared answers regardless of the question asked.
