Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Tim Ovens <>]

Hi all,

for long time I have been out of this list. Can anyone tell me how the search
in the archive is working now? For example I could not find any entry for the
words Haiku or Changes, but I am sure there are any.

Are there any old editions with Seven Haiku or Music of Changes? I did contact
Gene Caprioglio from Peters in New York, but he wrote: 
"8.5 by 11 inches IS the size intended by Cage.   Is your copy 8.5x11?  The
height of the staff should be a tiny bit over 1/8 inch.  If it is, than carry
on, you have the correct music.   If there are larger copies extant, they are
wrong.   They should be ignored.   They were not produced by C.F. Peters
Corporation."

But in this size Cages remarks on the space and time make no sense. Besides
this Haiku score is in parts not legible (e.g. no. 5), because the handwriting
is smeared over by the diminuishing. How do you handle with this?

Best,
Tim
