[silence] Petr Kotik's Umbilical Cord

[Glenn Freeman]

Just found an interesting interview with Petr Kotik from 2003:

Q: Do you think that today's performers must be capable of perceiving  
this period feeling if they are to interpret Cage "correctly"? What if  
they don't have that "umbilical cord"?
A: They have to have it. There are people here who worked with Cage,  
and it continues on with them.

Q: What about the people who didn't work with Cage? Do they have any  
chance at all of finding an approach to Cage's music?

A: Perhaps, but it's not likely.

*******

Commentary: I was born the year Kotik met Cage. According to Kotik it  
is unlikely I will find an approach to Cage's music and he is correct.  
It is highly unlikely we will ever find ONE (an) approach to Cage's  
music.
