Nothing : John Cage and 4' 33" Cover Image Book

Nothing : John Cage and 4' 33" / Nicholas Day ; illustrated by Chris Raschka.

John Cage and 4' 33" (portion title)
Nothing : (other title)
Day, Nicholas, 1991- (author.). Raschka, Christopher, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"August 29, 1952: An audience at the Maverick Concert Hall waits--and waits--for the pianist David Tudor to start playing. Little do they know that the performance has already begun. Tudor did not need his piano that night. He was performing 4' 33", a piece with no notes, a piece of seemingly nothing at all. But nothing is never silent. The composer, John Cage, was asking the audience to open their ears: to the rustling of the trees, the chirping of the birds, the pattering of the rain. He wanted the audience to hear how much something there always is in this world--even in nothing. He asked: If we listen--how much can we hear? With the visionary spirit of this legendary work, Nicholas Day and two-time Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka's Nothing is sure to spark big questions for readers of all ages."-- Dust jacket flap.
