| | 1. |  | Silence: Lectures and Writings from Wesleyan Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
 I always think of John Cage as "Klatuu" in "The Day The Earth Stood Still," arriving in a turn-table-shaped rig to deliver the truth about the future of music to the masses.

| | 2. |  | Beethoven (Revised Edition) from Schirmer Trade Books Price: $13.57
Customer Review:
 I found this book unreadable and extremely boring.

| | 9. |  | Johannes Brahms: A Biography from Vintage Price: $13.60
Customer Review:
