La Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires même Between 1912 and 1915, Duchamp worked with various musical ideas. At least three pieces have survived: two compositions and a note for a musical happening. The two compositions are based on chance operations. Erratum Musical, written for three voices, was published in 1934. La Mariée mise à nu par ses célibataires même. Erratum Musical is unfinished and was never published or exhibited during Duchamps lifetime. According to the manuscript, the piece was intended for a mechanical instrument in which the virtuoso intermediary is suppressed. The manuscript also contains a description for An apparatus automatically recording fragmented musical periods, consisting of a funnel, several open-end cars and a set of numbered balls.These pieces predate John Cages Music of Changes (1951), which is often considered the first modern piece to be conceived largely through random procedures.
