So why doesn't that work for everything?

That looks kind of fake.

I've had the real thing wake me up a few times over the past year.  That's always fun, esp when you can't find it but you're tired.


I found a spider in the tub this morning.  Let him soak in undiluted Lysol for awhile and then gave a free trip down the drain.

I woke up this morning.  Really early.  Decided to sleep in.  It's Labor Day.  Day off finally, so why not?  An instant later alarms go off and the glaring "alarm light" is shining in my eyes.  Laziness prevailed.  I must have waited it out.   Alarms and lights were off when I woke  up later.

I did.  You can't just have a straight drop off at the height of the last post.  A little amount to ease out is ok, like dusty or dirt filling in the corners a bit.  But now you've ruined it.  It's all ruined.


Or... This the start of the coda.

I'd say the beginning of the coda is kind of messed up now.  We should go back and start over, if that were possible.

I'm imaging the intensity the conductor would still have to display if it was an ensemble piece.  "You have to *play* the rests."   Then after all that intensity, the arms go down, the audience applauds.

And someone's stupid cell phone is likely to off during that moment.

*Imagining.


I don't know.  I think I'd prefer a bigger, more well-known group performing that.  The conductor wasn't quite doing what I pictured.  He's not that intense.

Always a cougher too.

I wonder if they rehearsed that much.

Are all the parts marked tacet?  I would think there's a difference between tacet and having a rest on the page.

The full score reads:

4'33"
FOR ANY INSTRUMENT OR COMBINATION OF INSTRUMENTS
John Cage

I

TACET

II

TACET

III

TACET


Dull as dishwater. The score for the earlier In Futurem by Erwin Schulhof is a work of art, Cage's (cheap copy) effort looks like it was scrawled on a bar coaster after a long session.

Dang.  I thought there was a whole set of parts for that.  That's kind of cheap. 

Then you have to go through the process of replacing that stupid triangle part that gets lost.  Pay the publisher $2.50 for them to send you a photographed copy with a sticker on it.

Everyone would still need a part, and one page can be sold for as much as multiple pages.

That would be a breach of copyright. Cage sued on that already, so be careful.
