Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


True

When hired to provide music for a dance production in 1940, Cage wanted to come up with something full and percussive to fit the African character of the dance. He replicated that full and percussive sound by placing bolts, screws, bamboo, and pieces of weather stripping on and between the piano's strings so that they would rattle and make other sounds when he played the keyboard.
