Partituras vanguardistas

John Cage
Water Music (1952)
Ink in paper

Composer John Cage often used change procedures and nontraditional sounds as a mean of defying audiences expectations of music an opening them up to their environment. In Water Music, he turned to the ancient Chinese divination text the I Ching of Book of Changes, to determine the sequence, length, and volume of each musical element. This method produce arbitrary combinations of sound and rhythm -unexpexted and, in conventional termns, unmusical.
To perform the work, the musician lays playing cards on top of piano, pours water from one container into another, turns a radio dial, and blows bird whistles. Cage made a large-scale "score" visible to the audience so they could follow along, making it possible for them to experience the composition visually and conceptually.
