Indeterminacy 23


When I got the letter from Jack Arends

asking me to lecture at the Teachers
College,
I wrote back and said I’d
be glad to,
that all he had to
do was let me know the date.

He did.

I then said to David Tudor,

“The lecture is so soon that I
don’t think I’ll be able to get all
ninety stories written,
in which case,
now and then,
I’ll just keep my
trap shut.”

He said,

“That’ll be a relief.”

- John Cage
