The original prepared piano and the only samples ever to be authorized by the estate
of world-renown composer, John Cage. This particular collection of sounds was created
for use in his magnum opus composition, Sonatas & Interludes
(February 1946-March 1948). Using his original materials and following the precise
instructions found at the head of his published score, various "mutes" were inserted
between the strings of the keys, then each note pristinely recorded and programmed
to bring you the instrument as Cage himself both envisioned and performed. Forty-five
of the piano's eighty-eight keys were prepared, eleven with double preparations;
three dynamic levels in five articulations comprise a total of 1,320 samples. This
landmark achievement makes an authentic prepared piano, and by extension the works
of John Cage, available to sampler owners in one of the most unique virtual
instruments ever created.
