b'John Cage was a respected composer when, in 1952, he created his \\u201csilent piece\\u201d, 4\\u201933\\u2019\\u2019 - a piece that would have the music world scratching their heads. This episode asks whether 4\\u201933\\u2019\\u2019 is really \\u201csilent\\u201d, and we explore the history of a piece musicians still talk about today - and speak to the man who campaigned to get it to the top the British charts in 2010.
