John Cage

John Cage, Richard Kostelanetz

description

"'A serious philosophical intelligence, Cage continually relates life to ideas, and vice versa,' writes arts critic Richard Kostelanetz in his introduction to selected readings by and about the pioneer avant-garde composer. For years dismissed as an eccentric exponent of arbitrary noise punctuated by silence, Cage has endured to be acknowledged as probably the most influential composer of his generation, whose compositions are vehicles for his philosophical vision. Of broader import, he is recognized, as well, as a sophisticated and witty personality with a highly visible hand in the entire mixed-media art scene of today." -- from interior flap. Edited by Richard Kostelanetz. Includes chronology, list of illustrrations, and index. Printed in black-and-white.
