- Title
The Names of Minimalism: Authorship, Art Music, and Historiography in Dispute. Patrick Nickleson.

- Abstract
The article discusses the dispute between composer La Monte Young and other members of the Theatre of Eternal Music, including Tony Conrad and John Cale, regarding authorship and credit for their collaborative minimalist music performances in the 1960s. The author, Patrick Nickleson, explores how this dispute reflects the challenge to traditional notions of authorship and the categorization of minimalist music within classical music historiography. Nickleson argues that early minimalism's revolutionary nature encouraged different interpretations and understandings of the same events, leading to conflicts over names and identities. The article also highlights the influence of French philosopher Jacques Rancière's ideas on education and social hierarchy in Nickleson's analysis.
