Subj: 4' 33" for clarinet
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 1996 20:25:16 -0500

I've got a great idea! I just got off the classical music group, where they
were discussing recordings of John Cage's 4' 33". I"ve wanted to do this for a
long time, but I want everyone's opinion on it. Here's the deal:

For my next (which would actually be my first) solo recital, I have my
stagehand bring out a triple Blayman peg, with a B-flat, A, and an ephur on it.
I sit in the middle of the stage, putting a different clarinet across my lap to
distinguish between the different movements. :)

Has it ever been done? The only problem I see with it is keeping a straight
face! :)

It's a wired one, but remember it's only a thought. Have fun!
