Yeah, sort of, but then you've got passages like and I guess my point is Swed never makes an explicit and all-encompassing value judgment.In the end, any connection between Cage and the Baroque is coincidental. But Cage was a composer devoted to coincidence – Sonatas and Interludes is the pivotal score that led to Cage's moving into chance composition.
By not sounding anything like Gould, Scarlatti or Cage, Greilsammer embodies the spirits of them all.
