Hi all.
I'm looking for some specific information about Cage's "Imaginary Landscape=
 No. 2"--NOTE: the first one from 1940 that he withdrew, and NOT the one fr=
om 1942 (which only makes things harder, of course).
Specifically:We know that the "Imaginary Landscape No. 1" uses the followin=
g system of rhythmic organization--15 measures + 1-measure coda15 measures =
+ 2-measure coda15 measures + 3-measure coda15 measures + 4-measure coda
Along those same lines, what is the system of organization for the original=
 "Imaginary Landscape No. 2?" I'm guessing it's not a micro-macrocosmic str=
ucture but would at least reflect the same kind of rigor as "Imaginary Land=
scape No. 1." But I'd rather not guess, of course!
The score is unpublished and at the New York Public Library--which helps me=
 not at all here in Chicago. Any informed insights welcome! And if you have=
 a citation to go with it, double-gracias!=C2=A0 :)
