i think john cage would be proud of her. a couple serious classical composers wrote pieces in homage to her but i forget who ^^ I think Finnissy may have been one of them..... possibly Cage.

It seems as though the depth and perception of your contributions to this forum can only increase with time.
I believe, having read quite a few of your postings, that you have hit a high water mark with this one.
Best luck in your endeavors--

The lowest menials of a royal household, who had charge of pots and pans and other kitchen utensils, and rode in the wagons conveying these during journeys from one residence to another: the scullions and kitchen knaves.

yeah go screw yourside sideways buddy. I may not always stay on topic but I contribute a hell of a lot more than i've seen you do with your inane little comments against me. Like where you attacked me for spelling Penderecki "Penderecki"........ oh wait. You're an idiot who doesn't even know the difference between Penderecki and Paderewski, so I don't really give a *** about what you think. And I have taken time out of my life that I could be using looking at porn to help ALOT of members on this forum with things piano related and otherwise; ask them.
And btw..... I think Yoko Ono's music has quite a few similiarities to some avante-garde music.

I don't know what Yoko Ono has to do with classical music.

I took a course on the Beatles when I was an undergraduate, and when we reached the point where John Lennon met Yoko Ono for the first time, the lecturer gave us some biographical information about her - in particular, that when she arrived in the United States in the middle of the century, the avant-garde music scene was dominated by John Cage and his followers, and I think he said she was one of his followers for a while, so if there are, shall we say, thematic links between Cage's music and Ono's, I wouldn't be at all surprised.
This, however, is all I can say on the matter as the few tracks of hers I've heard have reminded me of the noise a cat makes after you accidentally shut its tail in a door, and Cage's music has left a similar impression on me ("4'33"" excepted - that left no impression on me at all
). Avant-garde music of any sort really isn't my cup of tea, truth be told. (My tastes are so far apres-garde, la garde is merely a dot on the horizon.)

Yoko Ono's music has withstood the test of time.
It was crap then,

It's crap now.
Sheesh!
