Yes no kiddin', there is not one note, rest or whatsoever in this 2 page book, only a written part by Cage which sais: "The title of this work is the total length in minutes and seconds of its performance. At Woodstock, N.Y., August 29, 1952, the title was 4'33" and the three parts were 33", 2'40", and 1'20". It was performed by David Tudor, pianist, who indicated the beginnings of parts by closing, the endings by opening, the keyboard lid. After the Woodstock performance a copy in proportional notion was made for Irwin Kremen. In it the timelengths of the movement were 30" 2'23" and 1'40". However, the work may be performed by any instrumentalist or combination of instrumentalists and last any lengths of time. For Irwin Kremen" Then the page that contains the 'music' only sais: I Tacet II Tacet III Tacet The reason why i bought it is actually that i was amazed by the fact that "Edition Peters", from which i had Czerny and Satie stuff already and which in my eyes is a renowned company for sheet music, actually published this piece of 'nothing' as being sheet music. I found this quite bizarre and funny at the same time. I'm thinking of hanging the pages on the wall behind glass. (oh and the guy at the shop where i ordered it was all "uh.. we weren't quite sure if this was what you wanted us to order.. are you gonna 'play' this or what? ..you really gonna buy this?) :) |

Cage was clearly a g4ngst4. |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
that's so trrue my frriend. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's amusing more then anything... I stand by my view that a silent recording like this is stupid... just my opinion of course! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm, I've never found that... no virgin girls have fucked me yet! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and I repeat: the point was NOT to make a recording. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
out of interest - how much did it cost? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well yeah... but it's still considered a song almost... and all this talk of performaning it, blah, so stupid imo... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the sheet music would be cool though... you should frame it!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he did, orr is going to... i'm not surre which. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the suckerr |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

awhile ago i mentioned that it was in three parts when performed and someone said "NO !" but it wasn't thad. Well this sets it straight! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
qrter: 8 bucks anus: hehe you jackass (..i am going to frame it btw, well.. put it behind glass plates) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for 8 bucks, i think i might be able to write my own sheet music for this performance. and still have enough money left over to buy.. hmm.. at least 5 dollars worth.. hmm.. of anything. i bet it was almost worth buying it so that the people at the store would think you were some kind of creepy fetishist. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed. ALL THIS TIME we thought it was Thad who had said "NO !" that specific time. but that is cleared up NOW ! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

A professor I once had for a music class, along with several of his friends, actually lured John Cage back to their apartment with some red wine, and ended up talking most of the night - strange, but true... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah baby. but as i said twice; to hang on the wall, just like you would hang a drawing or painting on there, this is probably even cheaper |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i dont get why it's 4'33": normal pieces of music dont last an exact amount of time, and he composed it like a normal piece: thinking about this part should be like this, then this like that etc. guess it should have been so much bars. also it makes it so mathematical, which cage didnt want to be, he could have called it budhistically (geegh) "nothing", or something |
||||||||

john cage is a bit over-rated in my opinion. he's not that great, only well-known. |
||||||||

i think the pieces for modified piano are great. is this where aphex got it from or satie? anybody? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think the pieces for modified piano are particularly astounding. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

you would even buy it on cd if it was available, right morton John Cage "The Sound of Silence" you think anyone ever did that? Just a clear silent cd, as an album? I would buy it. |

arg! i fucking hate this piece now...i had a performance at school. this was deadset the worst concert i have ever played in, and couldnt wait until i could get out of there...but nooooo two people found it necessary to perform it. what topped it all off was that afterwards one of the performers went on about it and explained its meaning and signifficance blah blah, but thought it was by philip glass....i laughed at her a lot before someone corrected her... |
