But other people disagreed. They felt that, surely, a pianist on stage must actually \u003ci\u003eplay \u003c\/i\u003etheir piano to create music...not just sit there. And in no way was it melodic to turn a musician's mic on and off as they\u003ci\u003e do \u003c\/i\u003eplay their instruments--it was just chaos!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Cage found sound in silence, and knew that all noises were unique.
