The window is dirty and it takes 15 minutes to clean it (in English). I had always loved the Americans tradition known as 'shaggy dog stories,' those repetitive stories that take a very long time to tell until they finally end with some dumb punch line, usually a simple word play or an ironic remark, so my next operatic attempt, in 1978, went in that direction. The result was five chamber operas, about 15 minutes each, which I staged myself in a small loft space in Lower Manhattan. (from The Four Note Opera, 32 Years Later by Tom Johnson).
