Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Amy Beal <>]

I thought the Silence list would be interested to know about this new publication, many years in the making. It is an extraordinary scholarly achievement on the part of John Holzaepfel.

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
