Thirty Pieces for String Quartet (1983) 30:23 The Arditti Quartet This first volume of Cage's String Quartets marked Mode's beginning of an association with the exceptional Arditti Quartet--and the largest selling record in Mode's catalog! Cage worked extensively with the quartet in preparing the pieces for the concert and recording which was recorded live at Wesleyan University's JOHN CAGE AT WESLEYAN festival in 1988.

Cage was so pleased and impressed with the Arditti's interpretations, that it was decided to release the concert performances, documenting the event and their dynamic playing. Volume 2 of the Quartets can be found on mode 27. Liner notes by John Cage and Irvine Arditti are included. The cover art is an original etching by Cage. Released 1989. REVIEWS 'The two works on this disc document part of a concert of John Cage's string quartet music the Arditti Quartet played at Wesleyan University last year. In both pieces, the players sat far apart from each other, whether displaced on stage for 'Music for Four' (the work's premiere) or scattered in odd locations around the hall for '30 Pieces for String Quartet' (1983), prompting one audience member to ask whether the players liked each other.

John Cage was born on 5 September 1912 in Los Angeles, California. His father John Milton Cage, Sr. John Coolidge Adams (born February 15, 1947) is an American composer of classical music and opera, with strong roots in minimalism.

Liking doesn't matter, though, with Mr. Cage's chance-derived music; only independence does. And the surprising result of music made from separated, unrelated contrapuntal voices is serenity. Cage's expertly made musical chaos happens to be just as good at producing beautiful patterns as the various forms of natural chaos are, especially when aided by an ensemble as good as this one.' ---Mark Swed, The New York Times, Sept. 17, 1989 'The mode of playing is predominantly anti-romantic, as befits the relatively fragmented material, but there is tenderness as well as ferocity in both works, and despite the half-hour length of each composition the succession of short segments is well balanced to keep fatigue and monotony at bay.

As the booklet explains, the recording cannot reproduce the wide spatial separation of the players, but close-miking has the virtue of strengthening the sense of their equality: it also provides close-up evidence of virtuosity of rare distinction.' ---A.W. Canon Ir 3750 Drivers. , Gramophone 'The spatial separation of players reflects Cage's interest in creating 'a multiplicity which is characteristic in nature' and enables the listeners to choose their own points of focus within the complex web of sound. Cage has commented that the music's flexibility of structure makes it 'earthquake-proof.'
