Instructional Scores

Section of Waterwalk by John Cage

 

In music composition, ‘scores’ have been used to tell musicians what to play, and how to play it, for centuries. Scores tend to be made up of ‘staves’, which show notes and note lengths, and sometimes more detail like: what instrument should be playing, and the style and sound they should produce. In the 1950s though, composers and artists started to develop new ways to communicate these things, like the graphical score, or even written instructions.
