Frog Leaps
· Length: 1 minute · Description: Frog Leaps was written in an improvisational outburst in response to a radio broadcast of “chance-music” composed by John Cage. At first, it creates the image of an energetic amphibian leaping back and forth joyously on the piano keyboard. However, recognizable rhythmic and melodic patterns soon emerge from this improvisational work, ironically validating the value of artificially constructed methods used to introduce “randomness” to music. Originally intended as a joke, Frog Leaps was submitted to a competition where it caught the attention of a pianist that decided to premiere it.
