Hello Chris,

dear silence

can anyone help me to pin down the first time suite for toy piano was actually played on a toy piano
and not a real one

thanks

chris cutler

I believe Cage premiered the work at Black Mountain College the summer the Suite was written (1948). There is a photo of him playing a toy piano from that performance on line.

Best regards,

Thomas Gaudynski
