Variations III: for one or any number of people performing any actions - Cage, John 1912-1992 (New York Peters, 1965)
As in Variations I and II, Variations III uses transparencies, 42 in total, each containing a circle. The performer drops these transparencies on a blank sheet of paper and then chooses a small, interconnected group of circles from the mass. From this group, the performer then builds a performing score. There are no instructions as to how (or even if) to produce sounds; moreover, nowhere in the score does the word “sound” appear.
