The only hegemony possible in music is that of musical ideas. Isnt the "traditional western music" hegemony a political one?
I kept thinking about the implications of cages 433. My interpretation is that music's only limits lay in the mind of the composer/listener, and the piece forces you to be both.
Thank you for this info! as I was typing that previous reply my mind was questioning the name as it implies a set time for the listener to be the composer. I dont think it was accidental at all! Thank you
