Then the last god's granting is too close to be noticed. I heard Kurtag playing
John Cage's "Cheap Imitation" on the radio last week -- all single notes, very
simple, almost nothing at all. So the Minimalism prevalent in painting and music
after 1945 could be seen as secretly related to what Heidegger calls _das
Gering_ (the little ring) in which world worlds?
Many thanks for taking time,
