| | Prepared piano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | John Cage was undoubtedly the composer that put the "prepared piano" concept on the world map. |  | | A prepared piano is a piano that has had its sound altered by placing objects (preparations) between or on the strings or on the hammers or dampers. |  | | The first composer to use prepared piano extensively was John Cage, who is often (though inaccurately) credited with inventing the instrument. |

 | | A piano is a keyboard instrument, widely used in western music for solo performance, chamber music, and accompaniment, and also as a convenient aid to composing and rehearsal. |  | | As a keyboard stringed instrument, the piano is similar to the clavichord and harpsichord. |  | | In a piano, the strings are struck by hammers which immediately rebound, leaving the string to vibrate freely. |

 | | It was intended to imitate the sound of the harpsichord, and he used it in a recording of a Bach cantata. |  | | The tack piano is an altered version of an ordinary piano, in which tacks or nails are placed on the hammers of the instrument, giving it a tinny, more percussive sound. |  | | This preparation attempts to emulate the sound of a poorly maintained piano; as the felt hammers age and compact through use they become hard and cause the piano to yield this characteristic sound. |

 | | The music would have to be performed on a small grand piano sitting at the side of the stage, which pointed the composer in the direction of his twelve-tone music. |  | | Much of Cage's music for prepared piano was written specifically for dance, and many of those pieces share both imagery and structure with the dances for which they were composed. |  | | Use of the prepared piano led the composer down a very distinct musical path. |

| | The Piano Concertos of John Cage |
 | | Using the bowed piano as a focus and a vehicle, and bracketing and mirroring the achievement of the Concerto for Prepared Piano, Cage creates in Fourteen a music which defines silence and is defined by silence. |  | | The prepared piano is brought under the control of the same chart which guides the orchestra, releasing it from the hunger for self-expression. |  | | In the Concerto for Prepared Piano and Chamber Orchestra, Cage, in stripping away the sounds of the piece and reducing it to silence, shows us the heart of the music. |

| | Hauschka: The Prepared Piano - PopMatters Music Review |
 | | Hauschka uses his piano preparations as something of a novelty, but this makes it easier to listen to for most of us who are used to hearing structure and melody. |  | | Prepared piano uses objects placed on or between the strings to alter the sound. |  | | By the time "Morning" rolls around, the twelfth and last song, the repetitive piano patterns have somewhat blended together, and Hauschka seems to have run the course of his "prepared piano" ideas. |

 | | The Concerto for Prepared Piano and Orchestra was composed two years before 4'33", at the midpoint of the twentieth century and at one of the most extraordinary transitional periods in both Cage's career and in modern music. |  | | And the Concerto for Prepared Piano often sounds Webernesque in its delicacy, in the crystallization of instrumental colors and the isolation of short musical gestures. |  | | In the first movement of the Concerto, the moves are the least rigorous and only for the orchestra; the solo part is freely composed, reminiscent of his earlier prepared piano music. |

 | | Electronics, guitar and piano, although still blurring together in a most hypnotic fashion, are nevertheless afforded more of their own space in which to roam and make their presence felt. |  | | An elegant set of quiet piano compositions, swathed with a coating of rumbling bass notes and flickering DSP effects, Volker Bertelmann’s debut exhibited a pathos-laden romanticism, slowly distilled through gossamer melodies and bleary whisps of sound. |  | | Though few instruments are employed, lightly strummed guitar, fluttering mists of digital texture and subtly shifting piano motifs swell into condensed clouds, every once in a while coalescing into flitting half-melodies, and often swarming the sound field in such a way that a full orchestra seems present. |

| | Hauschka - The Prepared Piano - almost cool music review |
 | | At any rate, The Prepared Piano is a wonderful journey through his little, odd worlds of piano music. |  | | As the title suggests, Hauschka creates music based on the sound of a piano (mostly played in prepared and/or treated ways), and his work draws influence from artists as serious and minimal as Eric Satie and Arvo Part to the playful types like Vince Guaraldi (and those that fall somewhere in-between, like Ravel). |  | | On tracks like the quieter and more sparse "Two Stones," the small touches become even more apparent, and his prepared piano takes on the life of much more than a single instrument. |

Most of the pieces are imaginative enough to stand up to repeated listening. |
