| | 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. It was so dense with meaningless detail that the narrative flow virtually ceased - the endless inclusion of irrelevant detail sucked the life right out of the book for me.

from Vintage
Price: $13.60
Customer Review:
