Four 4 – Empty Words Percussion Ensemble

Here we are at the second volume of the planned complete publication of John Cage’s music for percussion. A project conceived and curated by Sergio Armaroli and his Empty Word Percussion Ensemble. This issue presents one of the most important compositions of the latest production by the American composer: Four4. Written a few years before his death and part of the group of compositions dedicated to 4 instruments, it is somehow a poetic summa of the latest cagian evolution in the system of “time-brackets” that make each performance unique, leaving the performers ample freedom. of execution.
