Cage is perhaps best known for his 1952 composition 4′33″, the three movements of which are performed without a single note being played. The content of the composition is meant to be perceived as the sounds of the environment that the listeners hear while it is performed,[6] rather than merely as four minutes and thirty three seconds of silence.

Ahh, the English terror of silence. I love the way everyone coughs between movements.

I have the sheet music for this.

Hey asshole, why don't you look at a list of everything John Cage has done.

The piece exists to celebrate sound in silence. The ultimate act of pretension would be for people to celebrate the song in silence without listening to the incidental music that is created from whatever couldn't be drowned out by controlled silence.

Silence can be beautiful, but perhaps just not to you. I don't wet my pants over it, but I can appreciate the meaning behind it, and enjoy what's available to be experienced in the immediate environment when the piece is being conveyed by everyone who's there listening intently. The orchestra itself was part of the piece because of the air of grandiose and intent it brought to the hall. It would indeed be pretentious if the orchestra was only there for that piece alone, but that wasn't the case.
