Manuscript:


in For MC and DT Cage used the manner of notation, as well as the chart system of Music of Changes. The work is similar to Seven Haiku and both compositions can be seen as a kind of side product from the Music of Changes, perhaps meant as a gift for friends of Cage.
The structure of the composition is realized graphically, where time has been notated proportionally. The piece may be played in any tempo or with changing tempi.
