These annotated transcriptions of George Brecht scores found in David Tudor’s archive indicate that Tudor was in the habit of writing out experimental notations in his own way even when not entirely necessary. Perhaps Tudor made these transcriptions in order to combine multiple event score cards into fewer pages, or to make copies of scores already in his possession. In any case, Tudor privileges the textual content of the pieces even as Brecht was very mindful of his scores’ graphic layout, particularly the amount of white space surrounding his text.
