Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[John Hails <>]

This topic really interests me because of my interest in the gulf between Cage as human being, and Cage as media personality; between Cage as Composer, and Cage as musician. Or what you might term "Cage as notation".

This corroborates a lot of my own thinking on the topic of the commercialisation of the Cage brand and how this sits distinctly from his personal belief system. I'll need to think on this some more but this is really food for thought.

Hiya folks,

Inside a copy of “A Year From Monday” that once belonged to John Edwards,

former head of the American section of the Music Division of the NY Public Library,

there is a typed and signed letter by Cage from 1959. I think I’ve tried to show

attachments in emails before, but they were always rejected, so I uploaded pix 

to my website this time instead, so I could share them with you (for a limited time):
