[silence] Scores in New Music

[Fred E. Maus]

How very strange.  Well, that it explains the common habit of referring to 
it as a book by John Cage.  (Obviously I haven't looked at it for a while.) 
 I think it would be good to change to a habit of including Alison Knowles 
in identifying the editors.
