| In these pieces, each voice is limited to a specific two-octave range.
Like in similar pieces of this period Cage tries to keep repetitions of these tones as far apart aas possible.
Once all twenty-five notes have appeared, another presentation begins, and so on, throughout the piece. On the title page of the score is written: "Carmel, March 7, 1934"; At the end: "April 5, 1934". The final part got an instrumentation in the revision of 1958 entitled "Six short inventions" |
