Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

The forthcoming issue of the Journal of the Society for American Music contains 
two big articles devoted to Cage (see the full contents below).

As a long-time admirer of Oskar Fischinger's work, I'm particularly interested 
to see the article by Richard Brown.
