Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Small oblong quarto, unpaginated, with illustrations of manuscripts by 269 composers. Printed white wrappers. - First edition. With signature on first free endpaper by René Michael Pabst, gallerist based in München + son of the famous silent movie director G.W. Pabst. 'PREFACE This book illustrates a collection of music manuscripts which was made in recent years to benefit the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts. The collection was determined by circumstances rather than any process of selection. Thus, it shows the many directions in which music notation is now going. The manuscripts are not arranged according to kinds of music, but alphabetically according to the composer's name. No explanatory information is given. The text for the book is the result of a process employing I-Ching chance operations. These determined how many words regarding his work were to be written by or about which of two hundred and sixty-nine composers. Where these passages (never more than sixty-four words, sometimes only one) have been especially written for this book, they are preceded by a paragraph sign and followed by the author's name. Other remarks were chosen or written by the editors-John Cage and Alison Knowles. Not only the number of words and the author, but the typography too-letter size, intensity, and typeface-were all determined by chance operations. This process was followed in order to lessen the difference between text and illustrations. The composition of the pages is the work of Alison Knowles. A precedent for the text is the questionnaire. (The composers were asked to write about notation or something relevant to it.) A precedent for the absence of information which characterizes this book is the contemporary aquarium (no longer a dark hallway with each species in its own illuminated tank separated from the others and named in Latin): a large glass house with all the fish in it swimming as in an ocean. The collection of manuscripts constitutes an archive, the contents of which are listed at the end of this book. The editors are grateful to the many composers and music publishers who have made this presentation of mid-twentieth century music notation possible. John Cage, May 1968.…

autocopertinato. [New York], Fluxus, 1964 (January), Edizione originale. Esemplare con la normale brunitura e fragilità della carta, un certo numero di lacerazioni senza perdite riparate con nastro filmoplast (in particolare una lungo la piegatura orizzontale del primo foglio), piccole mancanze marginali lontane dal testo: un più che buon esemplare sostanzialmente integro). Raro primo numero in originale del periodico ufficiale del gruppo Fluxus, una pubblicazione d'artista in formato giornale che oggi, sul mercato antiquario, è spessissimo confusa con la ristampa anastatica fattane poco più di dieci anni dopo, a Milano, per le cure di Flash Art e King Kong International. L'unica maniera di distinguere i fascicoli originali da quelli della ristampa è il formato (nettamente più corto di 1 cm per lato nella ristampa, che misura 58 x 44 cm contro i 59 x quasi 46 cm dell'originale) e la qualità della carta, che negli originali è molto bassa e leggera (e pertanto si presenta oggi evidentemente brunita e fragile), mentre nella ristampa è più spessa e bianca (fatto salvo il normale lieve ingiallimento dovuto al tempo). -- «Fluxus cc V TRE» (poi nota con altri nomi tipo «Fluxus cc Valise eTRanglE», «Fluxus cc fiVe ThRee», «Fluxus Vacuum TRapEzoid» eccetera) fu per un lustro la pubblicazione periodica ufficiale del movimento neo dada: ne uscirono quattro fascicoli da gennaio a giugno 1964, poi due fascicoli nel 1965 (marzo e luglio) e ancora due nel 1966 (febbraio e maggio) e tre irregolari rispettivamente nel 1970, nel 1976 e nel 1979 per un totale di 11 numeri in formato giornale autocopertinato (tranne l'ultimo, di formato minore e di sedici pagine). -- Le pubblicazioni di Fluxus erano contrassegnate dalla parola «Fluxus» seguita dalle lettere dell'alfabeto; nel caso di questo giornale venne utilizzata la doppia «c», preesistendo una pubblicazione contrassegnata dalla «c» semplice. Il seguito del titolo, «V TRE», fu ispirato a Brecht da un'insegna al neon parzialmente spenta. Tra gli artisti coinvolti in questo fascicolo: George Brecht, Gyorgy Ligeti, Alison Knowles, Jackson Mac Low, David Tudor, John Cage, Emmett Williams, Dick Higgins, Robert Watts, Christo, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, Nam June Paik. in folio (455 x 590 mm), autocopertinato pp. [4] stampate in bianco e nero con numerose illustrazioni nel testo. Edizione originale. Esemplare con la normale brunitura e fragilità della carta, un certo numero di lacerazioni senza perdite riparate con nastro filmoplast (in particolare una lungo la piegatura orizzontale del primo foglio), piccole mancanze marginali lontane dal testo: un più che buon esemplare sostanzialmente integro).…
