It is said to be a work that attempts to musically express \"nine permanent emotions,\" a tradition of Indian aesthetics found in the writings of Ananda K. Coomaraswamy, a Ceylonese metaphysician and philosopher of Indian art. The materials inserted into the internal strings of the piano are strictly specified by Cage and consist of three types, with the choice of which to use left to the performer. In this work, pins, bolts, glass shards, and erasers appear to be used. This is a monumental work, with Side A running for 29 minutes and 35 seconds, and Side B for 32 minutes and 45 seconds, demonstrating Cage's intention to \"introduce disorder where there is organization and order into the history of chaos.\" We have received a UK pressing with an insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260409\/OMH26010337_a.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSonata I to Third Interlude\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB:\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/xsvxdiscott.xsrv.jp\/organicmusic\/samplemp3\/mp3\/20260409\/OMH26010337_b.mp3\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSonata IX to Sonata XVI\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"organic music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51366645891296,"sku":"OMH26010337","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/8073\/2616\/files\/IMG_9976_15880a2b-63b4-4f23-9f45-4377f297658b.jpg?v=1775616646","url":"https:\/\/organicmusic.jp\/en\/products\/john-cage-sonatas-and-interludes-for-prepared-piano-1","provider":"PHYSICAL STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
