One page, ALS on the composer’s personal Note-o-Gram with original written sheet and pink copy. Dated November 15, 1984, Cage writes in full: "I am sorry to say that I cannot answer your questions. I am concerned with experience, not with value judgments. Each musician is talented in his own way. I do not have a favorite composer. This morning I received a boxful of a new issue of Michael Andre’s “Unmuzzled Oz”. It included a beautiful poem by Jackson Mac Low. Cordially, John Cage”. Together with the original stamped letter with Cage’s New York City address; postmarked October 1984. (10135)
