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.
