After Cage introduced chance , Boulez , Stockhausen , and Xenakis remained critical , yet all adopted chance procedures in some of their works ( although in a much more restricted manner ) ; and Stockhausen 's piano writing in his later Klavierstücke was influenced by Cage 's Music of Changes and David Tudor . Other composers who adopted chance procedures in their works included Witold Lutosławski , Mauricio Kagel , and many others . Music in which some of the composition and / or performance is left to chance was labelled aleatoric music -- a term popularized by Pierre Boulez . Helmut Lachenmann 's work was influenced by Cage 's work with extended techniques . </P>
