  2. Thank you for the Japanese Edition! Rainy day added to the indeterminacy of the piece: if you listen very closely you can hear the the rain pounding the roof in the background, but it is a very good recording.

  3. Thanks for this - Cage always struck me as a better composer and "idea generator" than instrumentalist, so this is a pleasant surprise.

  4. A re-up would be welcomed. I am positive this site should be considered an exploratory revelation. So many gems!!
