John Cage: 4' 33"

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Although I originally posted this thread in "Building a Library" as an April Fool, there was much interesting discussion, so I've restored it under a different heading. I should add that all the listed recordings are genuine.

In my case it had the desired effect!

What could the date possibly be? I do think this work needs high resolution digital audio to succeed in reproduction - too much risk of surface noise on vinyl outweighing the sounds one is supposed to hear.

How do forumites feel this work compares to Erwin Schulhoff's Op 3 No 3? It's shorter (1'40 on my piano duet recording) and earlier (ca 1918).

I had to google this. Not Schulhoff's Suite No 3, I think, otherwise it might be the only piano duet for two left hands.

Sorry - misprint in the CD booklet - should be Op 31 no.3 of Pictoresques / Pittoresken.
