John Cage was a truly innovative composer in both the methodology of his writing as well as his ability to invoke response in the audience whom received them. My paper discusses the most influential and popular of Cage's works, "4'33" which can be found in the link below.
John Cage "4'33"
I would like to note how interesting it is that despite John Cage's formal training he became taken with the idea of chance and choose to depart from his training to explore another path.
Thank you John Cage, for attempting to make all of us more comfortable in the silence of the present moment.
