check out the score to Wozzeck or Lulu. Or anything by Berg or Webern. Damn.

Have you ever played any Schwantner? Specifically And The Mountains Rising Nowhere?

There's some odd stuff in there, too.

A bit of George Crumb.

He had the original 4.33 score on display, surprisingly dedicated to Yoko Ono.

Perhaps he was suggesting to Ms. Ono that she SHUT UP?

if only for 4 minutes and 33 seconds???

I played second trombone in a production of Wozzeck several years back. I remember my surprise the first time I saw the part. If I hadn't known that other folk had actually performed it I would have thought it was a really elaborate joke. I never figured out whether Berg knew nothing about how brass instruments worked, or he knew but just didn't care.

On top of that, the subject matter of the opera could not have been more bleak and depressing. I was more drained after those performances than after any other musical event I've experienced.

]there is a great explanation of 4minutes 33..there are 273 seconds in 4.33 and 273 below zero is absolute zero, the temperature at which all movement stops (even Yoko Ono's jaw).
