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.
Afterward,
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.
