It should read "7minutes, 33 seconds". If memory serves me, this was part of a larger Cage work where the pianist sits at the piano, closes the fallboard, and observes total silence for that period of time. </BLOCKQUOTE> To be absolutely correct.  It's 4' 33", and was significant in that it allows the listener to observe the sounds around them.  More of a performance art piece. There are three movements which are as follows... I.  tacet II.  tacet III.tacet but more can be debated on the Cage listserv! Laurie</HTML>
