Hi everyone,

I am not sure if I posted this correctly last time.
I am keenly in search of any and all comments 
Cage made on his 4'33" piece. I would like, if possible
to assemble these and put them in some chronological order.

For instance, there's the one in "Silence" prefacing the
essay on Rauschenberg, "To Whom it May Concern:
the white paintings were first; my silent piece came later."
Where, I wonder, does this fit in the theorization of 4'33"
and of the ever richer theoretical connections Cage made
between it and the White Paintings. I would be so grateful 
for suggestions on ways to pursue this.

With appreciation in advance, for your thoughts,

Julia.
