“…when David Tudor sat at the piano for 4 minutes and 33 seconds and never played a note, there wasn't silence. The audience could hear the sounds of nature all around them. And that's what Cage was after. He wanted his audience to listen to 4 minutes and 33 seconds of the world with the same attention and the same concentration that they would normally devote to four and a half minutes of Mozart or Beethoven or Brahms.”
Saying the most with the least
A wise old owl lived in an oak,
The more he saw the less he spoke,
The less he spoke, the more he heard,
Why aren’t we all like that old bird?
Thelonious Monk embracing silence
