His most famous piece is “4'33",” which directs us to listen in silence to surrounding noise for exactly that amount of time.


Even has fingerings for the pianist to not play.

One version just has to rest, another has it in 3/4 time signature and the key of Eb, and another has it split into three separate movements.

The point of it was to say that the background sounds we hear in everyday life are music, which is a load of bull. Cage was trying to be edgy and push the boundaries of what we define music as, and all this does is demean what real music is. It takes music as something that can be transcendent and instead replaces it as meaningless.
