Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Small oblong quarto, unpaginated, with illustrations of manuscripts by 269 composers. Printed white wrappers. - First edition. With signature on first free endpaper by René Michael Pabst, gallerist based in München + son of the famous silent movie director G.W. Pabst. 'PREFACE This…book illustrates a collection of music manuscripts which was made in recent years to benefit the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts. The collection was determined by circumstances rather than any process of selection. Thus, it shows the many directions in which music notation is now going. The manuscripts are not arranged according to kinds of music, but alphabetically according to the composer's name. No explanatory information 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, sometimes only one) have been especially written for this book, they are preceded by a paragraph sign and followed by the author's name. Other remarks were chosen or written by the editors-John Cage and Alison Knowles. Not only the number of words and the author, 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 between 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 something relevant to it.) A precedent for the absence of information which characterizes this book is the contemporary aquarium (no longer a dark hallway with each 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-twentieth century music notation possible. John Cage, May 1968.
