It's a video clip that takes just a bit to download so stay with it. I can't believe they hired an orchestra for this. And that people paid for it...

That has got to be the most stupid 4:33 I've ever spent. The chamber audience started making their own song...

Wow, that download took forever. I thought I was watching BBC comedy until the very end.

Who's the orchestra? "Music Minus All"?

I don't think that I'd be able to keep from laughing if I were a member of that orchestra.

Sitting through another performance of 4'33" would render me legally insane. Thanks anyway, site!

LOL. I can't wait for my recording to get here so I can participate in this, ahem, masterpiece.

If I sit down for 4:33 with an instrument, am I in violation of copyright laws?

Eh, that bassoon was late. And the tempo was too brisk. An uninspired performance of the Master's greatest work. I pity those acolytes who are hearing the masterpiece for the first time, as their appreciation of it will forever be tainted.

This is why the words "classical" and "modern" should never be used together in the same sentence.
