Of Branca's music, Cage says - "No intelligence is suggested. Only power and energy. We would more quickly by those means end ourselves even in the 20th century than get to the 21st. That's the sort of thing we're doing, actually...I think we need a calmer use of our faculties...One of the things I dislike most about European music is the climaxes, and what I see in Branca as in Wagner is a sustained climax. It also suggests that what is not 'it' is not climactic."
