Piano Music Arranged for Guitar features five early and mid-career compositions by John Cage, dating from 1933 through 1948, all arranged for solo guitar by Aaron Larget-Caplan. The compositions required little adjustment from the originals, mainly in the form of register modifications, and fit very well on the guitar. All phrase and dynamic markings follow the published originals. Very few left and right hand fingerings are included in the publication to allow the performers their own realizations. All of the works retain their original keys and are presented in chronological order:
Three Easy Pieces (Round, Duo, Infinite Cannon)
A Room
Chess Pieces
Dream
In A Landscape
Cage’s exploration of contrapuntal music and simple forms are found early on in works for two voices and the use of unusual phrases lengths. The later works explore modes, resonance, and begin to show influences of Far East aesthetics in their spaciousness and dealings with time.
The collection is only the second work in the Cage Oeuvre to be published featuring the guitar, the first being Larget-Caplan’s arrangement of ‘Six Melodies’ for violin & guitar issued in 2015.
A recording dedicated to John Cage on guitar will be released in 2018 on Stone Records Limited (UK).

The restrictive use of tonalities has prevented the guitar from accessing the development of the musings of the morphological and formal resources that, since the classical period, has developed instrumental music. The freedom of modulation, thematic transformation or the ability to assume broad development structures are some of the procedures that, historically have been limited by the alleged inability of the guitar to use the full range of tonalities. With these 24 romantic fantasies, this historical prejudice is broken and the guitar is offered the possibility of approaching a wide range of compositional skills and expressive proposals that, until now, had belonged exclusively to the world of piano or chamber music.
