'Fontana Mix' is a graphic score consisting of 10 sheets of paper with curved lines and 12 transparencies, 10 of which contain a varied number of randomly distributed dots, 1 with a straight line, and the last with a grid pattern.
According to Cage's instructions these sheets could be superimposed upon each other and then interpreted so as to indicate differences in such elements as tone, duration, or volume of a variety of different sound events.
Originally titled 'Performance Mix' it was later renamed in honor of Cage's Italian landlady Signora Fontana.
