Scope and Contents
Emmett Williams writes about his creation of the Alphabet Symphony for the Festival of Misfits in London in 1962. The performance was one of the first Fluxus events even before the name Fluxus was used. It was preceded by the first Festum Fluxorum the previous month in Weisbaden with Williams and Ben Paterson as the only certified Fluxus artists. Paterson contributed an essay and conducted Williams' alphabet performance. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
