Value judgements are not in the nature of this work as regards either composition, performance, or listening.... A "mistake" is beside the point, for once anything happens it authentically is.
John Cage, "Composition" (1952), Silence, p.59.
John Cage, cover page for manuscript of 27'10.554" for a Percussionist (1956).
