How to Play 4'33" by John Cage.

This is a piano tutorial for 4'33" by John Cage. This is an outstanding piece that continues to woo audiences even today. I like the orchestral version better, but here's the original easier piano arrangement.

I made about three mistakes in the video, try to excuse that. I also played it a little slow the first time. Everyone's human! As always, I performed the song first as I usually do before actually teaching it.

Feel free to make a video response of you performing this great song. :-)

It's great, how, even after making that one mistake at 1:18, you not only continue to play it flawlessly, but actually look away from the keyboard, while playing. Amazing.

Sorry, his version of 4'33" is too noisy and nervous. But nice try. Like)

Yet another person who just doesn't get what Cage was trying to say.

P.S.

Get a new camera. That noise is terrible.

@thefrankonion Another classical music snob continues to bury himself in the mud of pretentiousness and ignorance.
