Answer
Text scores called into question the nature and definition of music in Young's Compositions 1960. These scores consisted of instructions for performers on how to create sounds, but they did not specify what instruments to use or how to play them. This allowed performers to create their own unique interpretations of the music, which challenged the traditional notion of music as a fixed work of art.
