Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

This sounds like an echo of Cage's statement from A Year From Monday: "Permission granted. But not to do whatever you want."

Yes, Thanks for the interesting discussion! I was wondering about Petr Kotik's comment:

3.     Cage’s music is all about discipline, which he once defined as -- you “don’t do what you want but anything goes.”

 

Do you have a source for that quote? I'd love to read whatever else Cage was thinking on that subject. 

thanks,

Jared

Thanks for all these emails which provided certain information on a bunch of yet-unfathomed (by me) Cage related arguments. It proves how much he's still alive today!

Thank you Rob for addressing your books which look very promising on the anarchy issue.
