"I don't play accurately - anyone can play accurately - but I play with wonderful expression. As far as the piano is concerned, sentiment is my forte. I keep science for Life."

The truth of the matter is that John Cage's pieces have been around forever and this is nothing "new" by any means. Anyone can take objection to the music as it is subjective.

The sonority of the piano is particularly prominent in the second movement.

I once witnessed a performance which featured an Accidental Prepared Piano. A pencil was inadvertently knocked into the piano by the performer, who continued on, and the rest of the piece was punctuated by rather peculiar noises whenever the keys just below middle C were played.

That is ******* hilarious. Or ****************** unfortunate.

Every concert pianist should be able to perform an emergency pencilectomy.
