In 1937, while living in Seattle, Cage invented the ‘prepared piano’, placing diverse objects between the strings of a grand piano in order to create an effective percussion orchestra under the control of two hands. Three Dances for Two Prepared Pianos, written in 1944, is a virtuoso work for two
pianos filled to the brim with screws, bolts, washers, nuts, rubber, plastic, pennies, and more. Cage said the title, Three Dances, was the result of a “passing remark” by Virgil Thomson regarding Cage’s long-standing affiliation with dancers and the importance of dance to his work. “The Three
Dances are written as a gesture of friendliness towards the dance as an art,” he explained. In 1947, Cage’s partner, Merce Cunningham, choreographed his Dromenon to the music of this piece.
