It's called 4'33", and it's a piece meant to inspire you to listen to what's happening around you.
Or, as I've read elsewhere, it's pretentious bullshit.
It was "composed" by John Cage. Oddly it's broken up into three "movements". As a concept it is valid, but because of its notoriety nowadays it doesn't have the same jarring effect it had back in the '40s.
Paul Westerberg of The Replacements wrote a song called "A Few Minutes Silence" in the hope that people would ring up radio stations and ask for a few minutes silence.
It was funny cuz we saw a vid on YouTube last year in Music where a whole orchestra and a packed audience were there, even TV presenters, and they watched the whole thing.......

If you have any other comments about strings, please don't hold back.
I quite like the PB strings so-far, but need to try a set on one of my old faithfuls to do a proper comparison.
