For years dismissed as an eccentric, John Cage is now recognized as a pivotal composer of his generation. This collection explores Cage's multifaceted roles as composer, graphic artist, poet, teacher, and critic, focusing on his innovative period from 1933 to 1970. The anthology primarily addresses music, featuring analyses of Cage's contributions by composers and critics like Virgil Thompson, Henry Cowell, and Michael Zwerin. Cage himself comments on works such as Sonatas and Interludes, Cartridge Music, and Williams Mix. Additionally, the editor, Richard Kostelanetz, includes Cage's influential essay, "Future of Music: Credo," alongside his insights on composers ranging from Satie to Stockhausen. Beyond music, the anthology highlights Cage's collaboration with avant-garde dancer Merce Cunningham and reviews his impact on contemporary art by Barbara Rose and Dore Ashton. Cage's poetry is also represented and analyzed, while his teaching is vividly recalled by former students. This collection is essential for students, teachers, and scholars, as well as anyone interested in the evolution of the avant-garde in the twentieth century.
