Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

This looks exciting. I've put the book on my wishlist and will be digging through the website at length.

Dear Silencers

Some of you might be interested to know about the recent publication of a book I’ve co-authored with Martin Iddon, ‘John Cage’s Concert for Piano and Orchestra’. It’s available from OUP now https://global.oup.com/academic/product/john-cages-concert-for-piano-and-orchestra-9780190938475?cc=gb&lang=en&

For a very different kind of exploration of the same piece, see our website https://cageconcert.org/ which examines performance issues through text, video, interviews with performers, and apps.

And for a slightly eccentric take on the ‘Solo for Piano’, I’ve uploaded a ‘complete’ performance, read in sequence from page 1 to page 63 and compiled in the studio, to youtube https://youtu.be/pt7xqOovh4s

Thanks for reading!
Philip
