Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

Some of Cage's instructions can be a bit obtuse...

Nihn,

My English is pretty good  - native speaker and all - but I've never understood this piece either.

Hello everyone,

My english is Ok but obviously not enough good to understand the way John Cage writes within the score of « c ¢omposed improvisation for one-sided drums with or without jangles ». 

The sentence I really don’t understand because of its construction is : « Number those of each description that are favorites ». 

Is anyone could explain this sentence ? Thanks !

All the best,

Ninh
