Cage wrote his rarely performed scores for carillon bells, characterized by percussive, cacophonous reverberations, between 1952 and the late 1960s. Formulaic repetition is also the basis for his number pieces. View Schedule John Cage (American, 1912 –1992). Untitled (640 numbers between 1 & 16). 1969.
