John Cage: "(...) I have the feeling that visual arts are more
advanced than music. It seemed that way to me; it seemed that music
follows visual art. For instance, I was born in 1912 and it was then
that Duchamp was using chance operations. When I saw him in Venice
many years later in the late '50s I said, 'Isn't it strange Marcel,
I'm doing now what you did when I was born.' He smiled and he said,
'I must have been 50 years ahead of my time.' His mathematics weren't
perfect, but the idea was there. I think people admire music and
think that it is abstract-perhaps that's what Lévi-Strauss was
referring to. But if you're involved in music, the ideas expressed in
it are frequently unadventurous, in the sense that chance operations
were used in painting before they were used in composition." -
