Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Richard Friedman <>]

Kyle Gann recently mused:

Many of us will have had the experience of taking away an idea from Silence, going back to document it, and being unable to find it again. The articles seem to shift their shape from one reading to the next. Part of Cage’s brilliance as a writer is his elusiveness, the fact that he can so vividly evoke ideas without ever quite stating them as quotable assertions. Like the I Ching he did so much to help popularize in the West, he is sometimes a Rorschach test, a net to catch the subconscious musings in the back of the reader’s mind.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of a published index for Cage's book Silence? Trying to find a specific passage in there can be very difficult!

thanks,

Jared Steward
