One day when the windows were
open Christian Wolff played
one of his pieces at the
piano.
Sounds of traffic,
boat horns,
were heard not only during the
silences in the music,
but,
being louder,
were more easily heard than
the piano sounds themselves.
Afterwards
someone asked Christian
Wolff to play the piece again
with the windows closed.
Christian
Wolff said he’d be glad to,
but that it
wasn’t really necessary,
since the sounds of
the environment were in
no sense an
interruption of those of the music.
