I've played this one a few times and in the past have played it as a C (highest note). There are I think three possibilities: a) at the time of inscribing Cage thought this pitch was a C, in which case it could be a C flat; b) it's beyond the range of the piano so play the highest pitch (C); c) Cage miscounted the number of ledger lines and added one too many, in which case it's a B flat. I reckon any of these are fine! Would be really interested in reading your analysis, Rob. Am currently preparing a new realisation of these pieces. Cheers Philip
