The correspondence between composer John Cage and Peter Yates
represents the third and final part of Cage's most significant
exchanges of letters, following those with Pierre Boulez and with
David Tudor. Martin Iddon's book is the first volume to collect the
complete extant correspondence with his critical friend, thus
completing the 'trilogy' of Cage correspondence published by
Cambridge. By bringing together more than 100 letters, beginning in
1940 and continuing until 1971, Iddon reveals the dialogue within
which many of Cage's ideas were first forged and informed, with
particular focus on his developing attitudes to music criticism and
aesthetics. The correspondence with Yates represents precisely, in
alignment with Cage's fastidious neatness, the part of his letter
writing in which he engages most directly with the last part of his
famous tricolon, 'composing's one thing, performing's another,
listening's a third'.
