SILENCE LECTURES AND WRITINGS
by Cage, John
- Used
- Hardcover
Middletown, CT: Wesleyan University Press, 1961. Oblong small quarto. Cloth. A couple of minute spots to fore-edge, and a small spot to free endsheet, otherwise near fine, in near very good, typically edgeworn black dust jacket with some internally mended nicks and tears (most noticeably a 2 cm creased tear at the top edge of the front panel). First edition of Cage's first collection of prose pieces, including the influential "Lecture on Nothing" that proved such an enigma to all but a few students in a section of freshman English when it was assigned for reading, with responses in writing, by the present cataloguer 40 years ago. This copy bears the early ownership signature of late Wesleyan (and Center for Advanced Studies) administrator Tania [or Tanya] Norton (Senff) at the head of the contents leaf, and bears Cage's long presentation inscription to her, utilizing Senff [in different ink] "... on the day of the first snow '61 in memory of last year & all of its snow and every thing else including the sandwiches and the telephones, & because I miss her, John Cage." Cage was in residence at Wesleyan as part of the Center for Advanced Studies for many years.

New York: Carnegie Hall, 1946. Unbound. Near Fine. One 4" x 7" sheet printed in letterpress on one side and folded twice to make four pages. Light toning at the edges of the first page, near fine. A very scarce program from the 1946 premiere performance of the complete *Three Dances for Two Pianos*, and the earliest Sonatas that would become the *Sonatas and Interludes*, Cage's most famous work for prepared piano, a cycle of 20 short pieces for prepared piano composed from 1946 through 1948. The work was dedicated by Cage to the Armenian pianist Maro Ajemian, who performed the complete cycle at Carnegie Hall in January, 1949. Cage, one of the most influential American composers of the 20th Century, began composing his first pioneering works for prepared piano in 1940. *A Book of Music* (composed in 1944), and *Three Dances* (1945), his only works composed for two prepared pianos, were seminal in the development of modern dance through his association with choreographer Merce Cunningham.

Description:
SIGNED BY RINGO STARR WITH HIS FULL NAME and professionally authenticated by PSA/DNA. Comes with their full Letter of Authenticity. NOT personalized to anyone. This is a 128-page booklet-style softcover in very good condition, published by Wild & Wooley (Australia) in 1982 and thus a true 1st edition. Please carefully examine my photos: the cover remains strikingly appealing although close examination reveals several creases notably along the right side. The interior is clean and bright and still looks pretty much unblemished. Overall, in my opinion, remarkable condition for a 41 year old softcover. Ringo signed on page 8 just above a photo of the band; please note how extremely difficult it is to find a Ringo autograph WITH HIS FULL NAME (ie. "Starr" is fully spelled out). Even scarcer to find his autograph guaranteed authentic by the most respected independent authenticator in the world. Expedited and international shipping are welcome.
