>What is Ligeti's 0'00" ? I assume it is a joke of Ligeti on Cage's 4'33" and not related to Cage's 0'00" from 1962 (subtitled 4'33" No. 2).
"For all his pride in the piece, Cage maintained that his sole intervention was to alert listeners to ambient noise. His was a clear and humble statement of creative disownership. He raised no objection when younger composers built upon his breakthrough in 4'33" - notably when the German-based Hungarian Gyorgy Ligeti issued a concise version titled 0'00"." -from http://www.naxos.com/newDesign/fopinions.files/bopinions.files/opinions133.htm Although I do not take the above quote to be proof of anything w/o a precise citation. -Josh Ronsen in Austin, Texas Need a new email address that people can remember Check out the new EudoraMail at http://www.eudoramail.com
