For information, here is the Cage's instruction for Four4 :

"Single percussion sounds in flexible time brackets. Since the  
beginning periods and ending periods overlap a sound can be long,  
medium in lenght, short or very short. Very long sounds should not be  
loud unless nothing else is either actually or potentially happening.  
In the case that a sound is alone amplitude is completely free. Where  
such periods exist is to be learned in rehearsal, so that when the  
performance is given all the players know when they are free with  
respect to amplitude. The piece is 72' (CD lenght). Whenever there is  
no activity, simply listen, as listeners to the finished recording  
will, hearing the sounds wherever they are."
