The \u003cstrong\u003eCage\u003c\/strong\u003e works tend to be binary in form, and while meditatively free flowing in spirit, the architecture is clean and easily understood.\r\n\r\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eBach\u003c\/strong\u003e works—four movements that make up a sonata—offer a multitude of interpretive options, including an approach that wanders through the harmonic labyrinth without regard to pulse and traditional notions of time, magnifying minute rhetorical statements along the way. It can be such that the Bach works represent the dreamscape while the atonal prepared piano pieces of Cage represent structure. This might be in opposition to many listeners’ expectations.\r\n\r\nPerformance traditions of Bach, combined with the underlying dance rhythms and characters that pervade his instrumental writing, steer many musicians in the direction of the rational: consistent tempo, consistent articulation in each motif’s repetition, concise determination of tempo and character as related to the movement’s marking, such as “allegro.”\r\n\r\nBach’s exquisite contrapuntal writing and harmonic nuance contribute to the idea of intellectualism as an oft utilised guide for musical interpretation—when deciding about phrasing, articulation, and the sense of time.\r\n\r\nConversely, Cage’s exploration of non-Western music idioms played on western instruments seems a natural departure from the European ideas of form and content.\r\n\r\nThankfully, written music has much room for the implementation of ever-changing ideas in time, ideas that change over time. Even though a recording seems to be a permanent medium, recordings can be approached as a performance: a rendition of a work or an entire concert program is a reflection of ideas that are offered to the audience here and now. In this recorded rendition, Cage offers the morning coffee following each Bachian dream.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMina Gajić, Piano\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eZachary Carrettin, Violin\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Sono Luminus","offers":[{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740400267588,"sku":"DSL92273-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740400300356,"sku":"DSL92273-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740400333124,"sku":"DSL92273-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740400365892,"sku":"DSL92273-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57342672306500,"sku":"DSL92273-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/DSL92273.jpg?v=1790625692","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/dsl92273-bach-uncaged","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
