    "It's very likely you won't be electrocuted."
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2016*

Though I have always admired avant-garde art in many forms, I know little of the NY avant-garde scene of the 60’s/70's. Just a few chapters into Topless Cellist I realised I was becoming happily immersed in this world. Rothfuss’s unassuming yet deliberate telling of Moorman’s life filled a sizeable gap in my understanding of a time and place in which so much evolutionary progress was made in the realm of experimental music and performance art. Aside from Cage and Ono, I was unfamiliar with pretty much all the artists and players that figured in Moorman’s arc, including the Cellist herself. I was creatively inspired to read about someone who seems to have organically disregarded so many layers of (limiting) social orthodoxy related to art, performance, communication, sexuality, family, money….her approach to art and life was just too expansive to define neatly.For me, Moorman’s story is one of complete, reflexive liberation; I’m so glad I read it. I can only imagine the time and energy it took to research and then compile her story in a form that is both easy and fun to read. Just as it was never Moorman’s intention to profit in any real way from the project that was her life, Rothfuss clearly saw the telling of such important history as the imperative.

    An excellent biography of cellist Charlotte Moorman that vividly recreates her era
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 12, 2019*

I bought this because I wanted to learn more about her playing style. When I finished, I was less impressed with her as an avante-garde cellist per se, and more with her ability to promote the music of her time. She performed the work of many contemporary composers and commissioned many new compositions, because the premiere organizer of contemporary music festivals in New York, and helped developed the careers of people like Nam June Paik and Yoko Ono (Pre-screaming). Her nude performances always seemed like a gimmick to me, and I came away from this book with my mind unchanged.I especially appreciated the detailed descriptions of her music festivals. Some of the compositions, and some of the composers, are nearly forgotten today.

A well-written biography of a misunderstood, neglected figure. It provides needed insight into the period of the Avant Garde Festivals. It might even make a few readers change their opinion of Yoko Ono.
