Morton Feldman, knowing her reputation as a pianist specializing in new music, had invited her to be an artist in residence at the university where he taught. But now it was time for her to go back to Japan. At their last meeting, Feldman gave a musical score to Takahashi as a gift. It was a copy of John Cage's solo piano piece \u003cem\u003eCheap Imitation\u003c\/em\u003e with annotations by Feldman. He told her that this was an instrumental version of this piece for flute, piano, and glockenspiel. He signed the title page, just under the original title:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eINSTRUMENTAL VERSION (Fl, Pf, Glock)\nMorton Feldman\nBuffalo, N.Y. Winter 1980\nDedicated to Aki Takahashi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour different artists were bound up in this single gesture: John Cage, Erik Satie, Morton Feldman, and Aki Takahashi. The story of this gift, a story of memory and connection, unfolds over most of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Cage was always devoted to the music of Eric Satie. in 1970 Cage was supposed to create a new two-piano transcription of Satie's Socrate for a Cunningham dance, but he was unable to get permission from the publisher. Even worse, he could not even get performance rights to use the published piano-vocal score of Socrate. Cage's creative solution was to make a piano piece that maintained the exact metrical and phrase structure of Satie's Socrate, but with different notes, thus avoiding copyright issues. He called this piece \u003cem\u003eCheap Imitation\u003c\/em\u003e. Cunningham responded by calling his dance \u003cem\u003eSecond Hand\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeldman arranged Cage's piano version of \u003cem\u003eCheap Imitation\u003c\/em\u003e for a trio of flute (doubling on alto flute and piccolo), piano, and glockenspiel. This is the same instrumentation that was used in Feldman's 1978 \u003cem\u003eWhy Patterns?\u003c\/em\u003e and which (somewhat expanded) was the basis for two of his Major works in the 1980s: \u003cem\u003eCrippled Symmetry\u003c\/em\u003e (1983) and \u003cem\u003eFor Philip Guston\u003c\/em\u003e (1984). Feldman made his arrangement by simply taking the piano score of \u003cem\u003eCheap Imitation\u003c\/em\u003e and adding indications about which notes were to be taken by the flute and which by the glockenspiel; unmarked notes were for the piano. Why did Feldman make this transcription? Takahashi didn't know; she was too moved by the gift to ask Feldman any questions about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition is the first published edition of Feldman's arrangement. It is a performance score. Three copies are needed for performance. The entire melody is printed in each part to facilitate continuity. The performers are only to play the large notes in their part.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edition Peters","offers":[{"title":"Performance Score","offer_id":42659417784455,"sku":"EP6805D","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Performance Score - Digital Download","offer_id":44754022334599,"sku":"PET.51039","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8635\/5591\/files\/c2471b0184ff370f8f80b09af89aa228.jpg?v=1781032563","url":"https:\/\/www.editionpeterspublications.us\/ja\/products\/john-cage-cheap-imitation-arr-for-alto-flute-doubling-piccolo-glockenspiel-and-piano-peters","provider":"Edition Peters Publications","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
