Composers on Mathematical Music
Subtext 7357075


. . . We are needlessly finicky when it comes to our notice that somebody else did it before we did it. And generally speaking, it does come to our notice. A little bit of the scientific attitude, however, and you soon see that what was just done was not at all what was done before except as regards the general situation. There was, by way of example, a discontinuity of particles, then there was emptiness (which now seems like a melody). Just now there was raw material. Repetition?
