This material was
presented at the Darmstädter
Ferienkurse in 1992. It highlights
some features of Heinz-Klaus
Metzger’s writings on John Cage
introducing some perspectives
that have not been sufficiently previously
followed. A pupil of Arnold
Schoenberg’s, Cage is viewed
within the tradition of the Second
Viennese School and therefore
belongs among Webern, Berg,
and Eisler, not Stockhausen and
Boulez. Cage’s experimental music
has been interpreted as a consequence
of Schoenberg’s prohibition
of tone repetition in the twelvetone
technique. Also Metzger was
the first to state that after his abolition
of compositional coherence
Cage started to write coherent
music again, but on a different
level than before. Close observation
of musical notation is crucial in
Metzger’s texts. In the piece called
Music Walk dedicated to Metzger,
Cage uses the graphic symbols of
conventional Western notation, but
assigns them different functions.
