The Compositions 1960 are a set of text-based musical pieces written in 1960 by composer La Monte Young. Building on the work of John Cage, these pieces are unique in their emphasis on performance art and extra-musical actions, such as releasing a butterfly into the room (#5), building a fire in front of the audience (#2), or pushing a piano against a wall (Piano Piece for Terry Riley #1). These compositions have been described as calling into question the definition of music.
