Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Ralph Lichtensteiger <>]

Dear David,

in James Pritchett's book 'The Music of John Cage' (Cambridge University Press, 1996) you can find more on the Schoenberg/Cage relationship.

Quote from the book:

"(...) Schoenberg was a model for Cage - almost a hero, Cage admitted that he was in awe of Schoenberg - he worshipped him, and at the same time, was terrified of him (...)" '— James Pritchett, The Music of John Cage (1996), page 9

All the best from Berlin,

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any books or papers that go into

critical detail concerning Cage's relationship with Schoenberg. We

have Cage's words and anecdotes but I haven't yet found a critical

analysis of their relationship.

Like what did Schoenberg really think of Cage. Or what were

Schoenberg's classes at USC and UCLA really like (interviews with

other students?).

Thanks,

Dave Bellows
