<BR>as I put it B4.

<BR>The piece was actually written for solo piano. The performer sits on the
<BR>piano stand and opens the the cover. 4 minutes and 33 seconds later, the
<BR>performer closes the cover. I have heard many different descriptions of
<BR>the performance, including the performer holding their hand frozen above the
<BR>keys for the duration, but this instruction is not listed in the notes.

<BR>This reminds me of a Type O Negative track called "the misinterpretation of silence and its disastrous consequences". 1:04 of silence in between two other tracks.
