First performed at the midpoint of the twentieth century, John Cage's 4'33ö - a composition conceived of without a single musical note-is among the most celebrated and ballyhooed cultural gestures in the history of modern music. In this book, Kyle Gann, one of the nation's leading music critics, explains 4'33ö as a unique moment in American culture and musical composition. Book jacket.
