    (Psst… It’s 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence. Or rather “ambient sound” when played live. The musicians don’t play their instruments.)

      The studio version might be silence only, but real performances involve the soloist, or the orchestra and conductor prepared to play but not producing any notes from their instruments.

      Whether live or not, in either case the performance involves one listening to the ambient sound around them. So playing this song in nature, listeners should be paying attention to the natural sounds around them.
