I recently had a grad student in composition ask me what he could and could not do with prepared piano for a composition he was commissioned to write. I had a number of suggestions but began to wonder if I had been concise enough. John Minor University of Illinois I might be barking up a very tall tree, but I don't see a need to "prepare" a piano other than having it tuned and voiced. I don't consider those who ask to have the piano strummed like a guitar, plucked like a chicken, or otherwise misuse the instrument, should be called composers. I more or less agree with Jim, that any tampering should be off limits. Period. Just my thoughts on the matter.
