July 29, 2025Jul 29 Dear young composers, This is an enhanced score version of the famous and brutally silent masterpiece “4 Minutes and 33 Seconds” by the (should have stayed graphic artist but unfortunately became) music composer John Cage. Should you know the original score you can see that the score has been minimized to only two bars at 1.758 BPM in order to reduce the environment footprint of the score should you want to print it. Moreover, the performance is thus silent since no-one hear the pages turning anymore. Since the audience usually takes an important part in this music, it has its own part in this version. Initially I thought it would have been Wonderfull to set the key to F-Flat Minor all the way but since most audiences are reluctant to read such a difficult key setting I decide instead to have it in C-Flat for the first bar and then create a sparkling modulation at the second bar and go F-Sharp. When you will listen to it if you still can listen to music you will see the difference. To all of you score writing lovers I wish you a Wonderfull reading and listening.
