Comments
Paul van Emmerik gives the following details on this work: "In Solo 58 from Songbooks, Postcard from Heaven, and Two6, Cage distributed the available ranges in a number of partial ranges and selected by chance a limited number of tones, taken from these partial ranges." In Postcard from Heaven, "five different combinations of pedal positions were independently composed for every subset."
