John Cage, a composer, music theorist, writer and artist was a pioneer of indeterminacy in music, electroacoustic music, and non-standard use of musical instruments. He was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde. He has been lauded by critics as one of the most influential American composers of the 20th century.

"If the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 marked the end of the nineteenth century, then John Cage's birth that year represented the start of a new one, musically speaking. Cage created hundreds of works and to my ears Sonatas and Interludes is one, more than any other, that will stand the test of time. Like a Merce Cunningham dance, there is something new to experience with each encounter of this magnificent piece. By my count there are over twenty recordings of Sonatas and Interludes with each performer (and production and engineering team) bringing something new to the realization. However, this is the first recording of this seminal piece ever presented in a 45 rpm format for the audiophile. It is my hope that listeners will marvel at the breathtaking sonics of the recording, but more than that -- the superlative performance by Nurit Tilles. When Laura Kuhn and I first discussed this project we immediately locked-on Nurit. Her preparation and playing is nothing short of magnificent. And as wonderful is her playing, Nurit's beautiful spirit comes through with verve in these grooves. A noted filmmaker said there is no history, only historians. This recording is historic." -- anthony b. creamer iii
