Proyecto Share your silence / MOMA John Cage’s 433 is a composition four minutes and thirty-three seconds in length, during which the performer—or performers—does not play a note. Often described as Cage’s silent piece, 433 was in fact meant to shift attention away from the performer, to the audience itself, and to the richness and variety of ambient sound. Reflecting years later on the 1952 debut performance, Cage wrote: What they thought was silence, because they didn’t know how to listen, was full of accidental sounds.
