4,33 has none of this, melody, harmony, rhythm, articulation, dynamisc. So here it is, 4,33 is not quialified as music period, mabye you, hell you can love it, mabye you think is music , good for you, buts not music  |
LOL Wikipedia's music section in english is awful. Even later when it does mention Cage, etc, it's really not well written.
Example: "However, in the 20th century, composers challenged the notion that music had to be pleasant by creating music that explored harsher, darker timbres."
What? What the shit is this about pleasantness? Isn't that entirely subjective and governed more by aesthetics than some sort of universal principle people decided to "challenge"? ETC ETC. Lots of errors. It also ignores that "harsher, darker timbres" can also be "pleasant".
Very mediocre~
Also, the article contradicts itself by saying the definition of music can vary, yet it outright tries to state one at the beginning. So much junk wrong with it, it's better to erase it and start over.
