It's probably a blessing that the work is being performed in an abandoned church…

Well, it was a much of complete silence as I could muster...get the "point"?

That's one strange article! Thanks for sharing. (though I must admit, as a newbie, 4 minutes and 33 seconds of complete silence would be appreciated by my family...while they hope I'll be able to play something in the next 639 years.)

Har. Thats like Neil Young doing a guitar solo by just holding one note. He must have been way stoned or bored to do that. Finally a solo any one can play.lol

I have often heard blues guitar greats talk about putting 'space' between the notes - but I think this is ridiculous.

I believe the idea behind 4'33'' is that the pianist comes out, sits down, lifts the lid (is this the correct term?) of the piano and then sits still and silent for 4'33'' before replacing the lid. The actual 'performance' comes from the noise made by the audience whether it's shuffling of feet, silence, sniggering or the unwrapping of sweets. I must say that if I were in the audience part of the 'performance' would be me shouting for a refund.

At least the organ performance won't ever get bad reviews as all the critics will be long dead by the time it finishes.

I wonder how much classic D'Angelico and D'Aquisto guitars will be worth in 639 years?
