Comments This work was later used as music for the choreographed piece by Merce Cunningham originally entitled Tune In/Spin Out (later Rondo, and still later and ultimately, Installations). In Cage’s work, performers on unspecified instrumentation choose twelve different sounds each, with fixed amplitude, overtone structure, etc., and play within flexible time brackets. The first player’s part may also be performed as a solo, thus entitled One7. |
