One day, in May of 1978, I walked in with my newest composition “Music of Changes”, 50 pages of Rorschach Test looking, very angular, pencil markings on 8.5 x 11 white sheets,
named after his 1951 solo piano piece for David Tudor. I said “ The music is supposed to sound like it looks”
Mr. Cage, in his impeccable childlike honesty said “I do not understand what you mean". I was thunderstruck. I left 108 Bank Street and never saw him again…
However…In the October 15, 1979 issue of People Magazine there was small interview of Cage printed, with pictures of his new scores.
Underneath was a caption “The music is supposed to sound like it looks”...Cage used to say "Genius always steals from the best"
ROTFLMAO...
