Cage’s life is mandatory. Born in 1912‚ it can be deduced that most of Cage’s creative thoughts originated from his father‚ who invented the submarine that held the world’s record of staying underneath water (Nicholls 4).

and explanation‚ the pianist might be required to slow down to “invite” the singer’s entrance. An example would be the transition to the final stanza of Berg’s “Die Nachtigall” that is marked accelerando into Tempo I.
