Tyler Cowen of Mariginal Revolution is reporting that the iTunes version of John Cage’s 4’33” is actually only 4’31”. Just another example of how the fidelity of classic works of art are being abridged and destroyed by technology.
The comments on the entry are pretty amusing and bear a look. My favorite –
“I saw the sheet music recently, cleverly priced at $4.33.
I memorized it on the spot rather than buying it.”
