It's for grand piano! and entirly composed to the standards
of that day. Written out, in three movements.
Famous quotes of John Cage about the piece:
"I like the piece. I still listen to it a lot."
and:
"No, I'm serious. I lost friends over it."
The public was yelling and trowing chairs!
The rocordings are thrilling.

About a decade later, Stockhausens speakers were ruined at
a concert. And this was all way befor Rock and Roll. And the
Who had to trash their amps themselves. Sukkels.
