NOTATIONSby John CageLibrary of Congress Cotalog Cord Number: 69-1472) Copyright @ 1969 by John Cage, and published bby Something Else Press, Inc,238 West 22nd Street, ‘New York, N.Y. 10011. All works reproduced ithin the bosly of the book are the property of the composers ond publishers and others indicoted therein, and no work so reproduced may be performed! ot futher reproduced without ppermizcion from the individual composer, owner ‘of tights, o¢ publisher 20 designated for each ‘panticlar work. No portion of the text may be reproduced in ony form whatever without ‘permission from either John Coge oF from Something Else Press, Inc, except for inclusion in a taview written for a newspaper or a magazine ar ‘radi oF television broadcast. All rights reserved, ‘Monvloctured in the United State of AmericaPREFACE This book illustrates a collection of music manuscripts which was made in recent years to benefit the Founda- tion for Contemporary Performance Arts. The collection was determined by circumstances rather than any process ‘of selection, Thus ic shows the many directions in which music notation is now going. The manuscripts are not ar- sanged according to kinds of music, but alphabetically according, to the composer's name, No explanatory informa- tion is given. ‘The text for the book is the result of a process employing I-Ching chance operations, These determined how ‘many words regarding his work were to be written by or about which of two hundred and sixty-nine composers. ‘Where these passages (never more than sixty-four words, sometitnes only one) have been especially written for this book, they are preceded by a parageaph sign and followed by the authoc’s name. Other remarks were chosen or swcitten by the editors—John Cage and Alison Knowles. Not only the number of words and the authos, but the typography too—letter size, intensity, and typeface—were all determined by chance operations. This process was followed in order to lessen the difference hetween text and illustrations. The composition of the pages is the work of Alison Knowles ‘A precedent for the text is the questionnaire. (The composers were asked to write about notation or some- thing relevant to it.) A precedent for the absence of information which characterizes this book is the contemporary aquarium (no longer a dark hallway with cach species in its own illuminated tank separated from the others and named in Latin): a large glass house with all the fish in it swimming as in an ocean, ‘The collection of manuscripts constitutes an archive, the contents of which are listed at the end of this book. ‘The editors are grateful to the many composers and music publishers who have made this presentation of mid- ‘nventicth century music notation possible. —John Cage, May 1968Pent ermine 6 me stp RONDINO FOR NINE INSTRUMENTS (0961) ‘Asted how mony intakes ‘o-nae a gobs = in ligne conn (na ia) Charles Jo Saran | a he soid, “Two, at least.” Group composition. {| Moh ned bought a big lemon and... frum 9 cmon cs ows) Murray Apasnin, Rondino for Nine Instruments (1961)ozorblades.... half the bl des into one side . . . rest of the blades into “other side, Paul Bowles.epoca by seaanon of Onn Uniery Prt SaMueL ADLER, Southwestern Sketches (1962)oo rw Mma he P voints.
