  • added link to Larry Solomon's index (Conversing with Cage) on front page
  • added new way of labelling page numbers (page numbers in braces indicate that this page number is related to this entry, but does not quite focus on the keyword)
  • incorporated some corrections of some mistakes, which I had been made aware of by André Chaudron, who has been compiling an index to many publications, listing entries of Cage's works (musical works, texts, lectures, etc.). Thanks for his help!

    Details of hints from André Chaudron:
     a.. Atlas Borealis and Ten Thunderclaps. You state p.172. I think it is
     173 b.. Cartridge Music is mentioned on p.135 too. c.. Concert for piano
     and orchestra. You state p.128. I think it is 129. And I found the work
     on p.160 too. d.. Musicircus is mentioned on p.172 too. e.. Sixteen
     Dances. You mention p.177. I think you mean to put this number on the
     next work: Sonatas and Interludes. [...] f.. Williams Mix: Add p.62
