- Abstract:
The article discusses the influence of composer John Cage on the modernist movement in music. Cage's musical instruction, his avant garde works, and the effect of Cage's work on the principles of Western music are explored. Particular focus is given to the work "4'33"" and to the relationship between music and noise. The book "Begin Again: A Biography of John Cage" by Kenneth Silverman is also discussed.
