In this book has to do with music notation. Cage collates, reproduces, &amp; displays 255 scores by a variety of contemporary composers invited to send their work with a limited word number commentary. The book is a wonderful exploration through the avant-garde, and it is great compelling nourishment for the composer to see the various graphic icons of someone's hand. Each work is reproduced in manuscript with the composer's submitted commentary.The composers included represent most the 20th century.Sample list of composers:Boulez CarterCardewRalph ShapeyStockhausenMilton BabbittChristian WolffFrederic RzewskiRoman Haubenstock RamatiBo NilssonLuigi NonoLuciano BerioDick HigginsNam June PaikDavid TudorAlison KnowlesGeorge BrechtGiuseppi CiardiPeter Maxwell DaviesJean-Claude EloyPierre SchafferLuc FerrariPierre HenryGeorge MaciunesJackson Maclow (poet not composer)Franco EvangelistiDieter SchnebelHenry CowellVirgil ThompsonBen JohnstonLou HarrisonSamuel AdlerEric Satie&amp; many more

This infamous book has enjoyed a lively underground reputation since its first publication in 1970. Richard Meltzer (a.k.a. R. Meltzer) took his training as a young philosopher and applied it with unalloyed enthusiasm to the lyrics, sound, and culture of rock and roll. Never before had anyone noticed the relationship between the philosophy of Heidegger and a tune by Little Anthony and the Imperials, heard the cries of agony in the Shangri Las'  Remember (Walkin' in the Sand)”, or transcribed every "papa-ooma-mow-mow" in the Trashmen's Surfin' Bird.”From Dionne Warwick to Plato, Jim Morrison to Bert Brecht, Conway Twitty to Miguel de Unamuno, Meltzer subverts high and low culture in his search for meaning, emotion, and codes in popular music. At once an earnest investigation and a crypto put-on, the book can be read for its nuggets of information and insights or for its humor. Here with Greil Marcus's new introduction, yet another generation of readers can be outraged and inspired.
