4:33" interpretations

[pastoralguy]

Given the nerve-wracking nature of public performance, this is bound to have happened at some stage. Only accepted as part of the performance by those close enough to actually hear any resulting sound, of course.

I once heard the horn section of the SNO fart during a performance of a very forgettable 20thC piece in the Usher Hall circa 1978.

Is it true that Andre Rieu is about to release a CD comprising variations on Mr Cage's piece?

Yes but he's keeping it quiet - we may never hear it!

You cannot get more HIPP than this:

I'll be glad when he gets to the middle 8.

This is, I think, recommended in one of the editions of the score. In 1971, of course, the piece was a mere 19 years old. It's now nearly getting on for 70. Not bad wear at all for New Clothes.
