Celebrating the latest arrival in a long line of texts on 20th-century musicological philosophy in my library - this one an insistent recommendation from a dear friend.

No Such Thing As Silence: John Cage's 4'33" by Kyle Gann.

I'm taking a vacation this weekend but can't wait to dive into this one!

I should compile a master list of all my books along this theme to share with fellow members of what Cage called in his dedication page to Empty Words '73-'78 - "the students in the school from which we'll never graduate."

Inspiring stuff. <3
