Burian on New Music from the 1920s, Karel Reiner's writing on interwar avant-garde activities and Vladimir Lebl's thoughts on the crisis of the avant-garde, as well as Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt's review of the Prague music scene. With two black-and-white reproductions of works by Hans Hartung. Issue 3 "Experiment" features the translatons of Pierre Boulez's study Alea and John Cage's, History of Experimental Music in the United States, as well as a richly illustrated article on Milan Grygar's so-called acoustic drawings, and an interview with Charles Csuri.
