1987 LP on Hungaroton matching a 1981 compositions for five orchestras performed by Savaria Symphony Orchestra led by Peter Eötvös with a set of indeterminate solo piano pices from the 1950's performed by several Hungarian composers including László Sáry and Zoltán Jeney.

An unusual conjunction: John Cage on the Hungarian state label Hungaroton, best known for its Eastern European classical repertoire. Thirty Pieces For Five Orchestras (1981) distributes five independent orchestral groups across a space, each performing simultaneously but without coordination - the total result ungoverned, shaped by acoustic accident. Music For Piano, from the early 1950s, shows an earlier engagement with chance procedures applied to single-stave notation. A document of two very different moments in Cage's engagement with indeterminacy.
