John Cage's most famous musical composition is called 4'33". Will it be number 1 on christmas this year?
It consists of the pianist going to the piano, and not hitting any keys for four minutes and thirty-three seconds. (He uses a stopwatch to time this.) In other words, the entire piece consists of silences -- silences of different lengths, they say.

I love how the orchestra sounded. Very dramatic.

They lacked a bit of synchronization and a couple of instruments sounded flat, but overall, it was truly an amazing composition. I'm pretty sure this was inspired from what Beethoven used to hear.

The orchestration is too lush. I prefer the original piano version...
