Dear all, I was wondering if anyone had information that would help me date a story Cage included in 'Silence' as part of Indeterminacy. The story is on p.269 and relates to Cage's attendance at a lecture by Jiddu Krishnamurti (Krishnamurti lectures on how to listen to a lecture and instructs his audience not to take notes. The woman next to Cage is taking notes, the man next to her points this out to her. She replies that that is what he just said because she has it written down). Apart from narrowing the range to between c.1933 and 1961, I have been unable to find any evidence indicating when this lecture took place (not even David Patterson's thesis or the letters of Cage's that I have been able to see). Therefore if anyone reading this has any further information that might assist me in dating the lecture I would be extremely grateful. best wishes to all, Ed Crooks University of York Department of Music [email protected]
