The best interpretation I know of this work. Congratulations, Sir, and many greetings from Italy.
Francesco Giancane thanks! Probably my favorite music to perform. Cheers.
When i first listened to this i really didn't think i'd hear more than 5 minutes, but i actually ended up listening to the whole video. It's surprisingly good.
Thanks for taking the time to listen.
2021 and these sonatas and interludes still sound fresh! I was moved by your tenderness, Sir.
I had some 1 hour down time at work (3 am). I decided to listen to this while reading about low-noise microphones and recorders (starting from your web site). I never listened to John Cage in my youth, thinking that it was too random. I'm quite surprised of the structure that was there all along.
Louis Emery Thanks, Louis. I can relate to this too. Thanks for taking the time to listen.
Now, this is creativity at totally a new level, it is not just different, it is a complete transformation of the instrument!
When i was studying music in college, our professor gave us a 90 minute recital with a prepared piano. It was the hardest thing i had to do there😂
John Cage was a great man!
good lord
Becoming familiar with the amazing techniques of Cage. Thank you for uploading.
Thanks for listening.
Hi, I'm here bcoz of my modules. This sounds great! Thanks for this.
Same 😁
Glorious work of imaginative and sensitive personality! Your performance is excellent and reveals all the superb quality of this fantastic work. Especially extraordinary rhythm and tempo feeling. Sonatas and Interludes are so complex and somehow natural in that case. Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to listen and to mention rhythm and tempo. It's easy to focus on the obvious timbre and preparation effects, but rhythm and tempo is the cornerstone of the whole work.
thanks a lot for sharing your wonderful performance.
Last week I met a friend after we had both watched a really good program on TV about the Minimalists. He said that Steve Reich had been a massive influence in his life. I said John Cage had been a massive influence on mine. The following day when I did some vacuuming, a large nut and bolt fell onto the floor, seemingly from nowhere
Thank you, Jesse! Have never enjoyed Cage's piano works so much!!!! Thank you!! Loved that Sonata V!!! You make it happen!!
Happy to make it happen. Sonata V is funky, before funk was funk! Gotta make it groove.
Love Sonata 5 at 14:50 . Thank you for performing this piece.
what thank for, like if he could've omitted
apparently threre is a book with all sonatas in line, so he played them all
Great works done! Thanks for sharing your music
so good...
Excellent version and performance. Piano preparation pretty similar in sound to the Joshua Pierce 1975 Wergo's version
i was out of town for the performance I'm glad it was recorded .
Excellent performance and interpretation! Great composition; extraordinary, superb version. : - )
Thanks for listening. This is a favorite of mine to perform.
I can tell. So far, my favorite performance.
Sonata V. My favorite, like gamelan music.
Do you like gamelan ?

I have a question: are pianos always prepared in the same way? Or does the preparation depend on the piece?
Superb. Thank you!
Thanks tadeusz. One of my favorite solo shows. Thanks for listening.
@@jessemyerspiano thank you so much for your message - I really appreciate it, and will be keeping track of your activities with great interest. Wishing you all and only the best - Tad
Did John Cage do extensive study of how this or that thing sounded while on the strings?

is music for locos

Is this music!?
It's not a giraffe. It's also not a shoe. This much I'm certain of... I think.

I have always wondered how these sound without a prepared piano
Iszotic Isothetic that’s how I practice them most often. Here is one without the prep. facebook.com/JesseMyersPiano/videos/817142075161210/
@@jessemyerspiano I'm surprised. Seems like you'd need to practice a prepared piano piece with the piano prepared. Otherwise, wouldn't the unexpected sonic outcome completely throw you off? BTW, I'm thoroughly enjoying your performance. I haven't heard the Sonatas and Interludes in years. They seem even better than ever.
Joey Harrison I’d say I practice 90% unprepared. Obviously you’d want to practice prepared before performing it. But unprepared is like actors rehearsing a play in their street clothes. Prepared is like having all the actors in their costumes and makeup. So even unprepared you can imagine the final product.
@@jessemyerspiano Thanks for your reply, Jesse.
@@jessemyerspiano I enjoy your playing as you approach cage warmly. But yr analogy, tho intriguing, ultimately doesn't wash as acting is not nearly as concerned with sound as music is. Yr first two sentences explained your methodology fine.
I hate to sound dumb but I really don’t get the appeal of this
I get it, it’s pretty weird and esoteric. But there are many reasons that are appealing to me. The instrument I’ve played my whole life can be modified into something unrecognizable as a piano- a rediscovery of the instrument.
it's used in movie soundtracks. you'll know it when you hear it. as for John Cage's composition though...
you can checkout Hauschka's recordings
Well , I listened for 25 minutes.
very good I lasted for 8 minutes.
I could only do 2 minutes...
