In this study, I evaluate the sonic possibilities of John Cage’s Four2 (1990) by comparing existing performances of the piece with alternate renditions generated computationally and by hand specifically for this analysis. Four2, one of Cage’s Number Pieces, is fully determinate with respect to pitch, instrumentation and overall duration, but affords the performer the flexibility to choose the durations of specific sounds through time-bracket notation. The differences in the musical results between various performances, both real and virtual, prompt a discussion of the performance practices of the piece both as outlined by Cage and as understood by scholars and performers. Accompanying this text is a computer program with which readers can edit and play back their own interpretations of Four2.

“他们之间有什么关系?”:约翰凯奇的《Four2》中的分析和表现方法

在这项研究中,我通过比较该乐曲的现有演奏与专门为此分析而通过计算和手工生成的替代演绎来评估 John Cage 的 Four2 (1990) 的声音可能性。Four2 是 Cage 的 Number Pieces 之一,在音高、乐器和总持续时间方面完全确定,但让表演者可以通过时间括号符号灵活地选择特定声音的持续时间。各种表演之间音乐效果的差异,无论是真实的还是虚拟的,都促使人们对凯奇概述的以及学者和表演者所理解的作品的表演实践进行讨论。伴随本文的是一个计算机程序,读者可以使用它来编辑和播放他们自己对 Four2 的解释。第 23 卷,第 4 期,
