John Cage was a giant of American experimental music--composer,
writer, and artist. He is most widely known for his 1952
composition 4'33, whose three movements continue to challenge the
definition of music by being performed without playing a single
note. In questioning fundamental tenets of Western music, Cage was
often at the center of controversy, and is regarded as an important
contributor to many facets of American culture. To enable readers
to understand what makes Cage such an extraordinary figure, David
Nicholls masterfully places his striking body of prose and poetry,
over 300 music compositions, and prominent performance career into
historical, environmental, intellectual, philosophical, and
aesthetic contexts. Nicholls' intimate study of John Cage's
personal and professional life confirms the legacy of this major
figure in twentieth-century American culture.
