Analyzing Music for Piano 21, I notice that it includes an unplayable note
(D-flat above the highest C on the piano). It's very confusing to me,
because this is one Cage himself played with Tudor regularly; surely he
knew the note couldn't be played. What did he do? Are there any pianists on
the list who play this one and can tell me what they do?
