Variations
I . . . is a composition indeterminate
of its performance. Material is provided, by the use of which the performer
himself makes his own part. There are six transparent squares, one having
points of various sizes, five having five lines each. These latter are
five parameters of sound; the points are events, the nature of which is
determined by dropping perpendiculars from them to the lines. The material
may be read in any position. . . .
