Comments This work was used as music for the choreographed piece by Merce Cunningham entitled Music Walk with Dancers, with stage decors and costume design by Robert Rauschenberg. The score of Music Walk consists of a transparent sheet of plastic containing five parallel lines, ten unnumbered pages with different numbers of points, and several transparent squares containing intersecting lines drawn at various angles. Performers use these materials and follow Cage's instructions, each time creating a part using sounds to be produced at various points in and around the piano, on radios, or with auxiliary instruments (including voice). |
