Abstract Kostelanetz has judiciously selected excerpts that present Cage's provocative perspectives on his often inseparable music and prose. The interviews cover Schoenberg's pedagogy and music; visual artists with whom Cage collaborated performers, composers and writers whose prose Cage has set to music. They also reflect the influence of social philosophers such as Buckminster Fuller and Henry David Thoreau and of Orient modes of thought on Cage.
