FOUR MINUTES THIRTY THREE SECONDS
4′33″ (“Four minutes, thirty-three seconds“ or just ”Four thirty-three”) is a three-movement composition by American experimental composer John Cage. Each movement is called “Tacet” which is the latin word for “It is silent”.
They missed the point. There’s no such thing as silence. What they thought was silence, because they didn’t know how to listen, was full of accidental sounds. You could hear the wind stirring outside during the first movement. During the second, raindrops began pattering the roof, and during the third the people themselves made all kinds of interesting sounds as they talked or walked out.— John Cage speaking about the premiere of 4′33″.
