$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / I did cancel one performance in Holland \ | where they thought my music was so easy | | that they didn't rehearse at all. And | | so the first time when I found that | | out, I rehearsed the orchestra myself | | in front of the audience of 3,000 | | people and the next day I rehearsed | | through the second movement -- this was | | the piece _Cheap Imitation_ -- and they | | then were ashamed. The Dutch people | | were ashamed and they invited me to | | come to the Holland festival and they | | promised to rehearse. And when I got to | | Amsterdam they had changed the | | orchestra, and again, they hadn't | | rehearsed. So they were no more | | prepared the second time than they had | | been the first. I gave them a lecture | | and told them to cancel the | | performance; they then said over the | | radio that i had insisted on their | | cancelling the performance because they | | were "insufficiently Zen." Can you | | believe it? | | | | -- composer John Cage, "Electronic | \ Musician" magazine, March 88, pg. 89 / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
