I experienced some fantastic moments in a simultaneous performance involving three of John Cage’s “number” instrumental solos: 31’57.9864” For a Pianist, performed by Steffen Schleiermacher, 26’1.1499” for a String Player, performed by Karinna Fox, and 27’10.544” for A Percussionist, performed by me; on an evening concert at the New England Conservatory Summer Institute for Contemporary Performance Practice in June. These works are part of a collection of indeterminate works collectively known as Ten Thousand Things.
