Cage, John. (1912–1992)

"Amores" - Signed Score

New York: C.F. Peters . 1960. Signed and inscribed printed small 8vo edition of the sheet music for Cage's 1943 piano and percussion trio work Amores, inscribed "For Reverend & Mrs. Britton with best wishes/ John Cage/ & congratulations on 50th Anniversary, Nov. '79."  16 pp. Signed musical scores from John Cage are surprisingly uncommon and this is the first such example we have offered.  14 x 19 cm.

An economical four-movement quartet dating from 1943, Amores calls attention to Cage's dedicated expansion of musical resources by his creation of a repertory for percussion instruments as well as one for an instrument of his own invention, the prepared piano.  (18366)
