Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Caleb Deupree <>]

Nobody's mentioned Kathan Brown's book on Cage's "Visual Art: To Sober and 
Quiet the Mind," which I found very illuminating.  Lots of color 
illustrations, and still in print apparently, more info at 
http://crownpointpress.stores.yahoo.net/jocaviartoso.html.

Since you asked specifically about Gann's book, it's everything you ever 
wanted to know about 4'33" told in a reasonably entertaining style.  I like 
Gann's writing, but the book is a summary of existing material in a series 
intended for a wide audience.
