Format : Sheet music For Violin Cello and Piano Duet. In the past composers wrote 'pieces' of music. More important pieces were called'works'. Nowadays however most composers write minutes. Phone up anyprofessional composer and ask how'r'ya doing and nine out of ten will say something like: 'Terrible/ awful … I've only written 4 (or …..) minutes and I have to write … minutes!' We're all commissioned to write minutes - like so many feet of wallpaper. Imagine this:' We loved your Jupiter Symphony Mr. Mozart but it's 3 minutes less than wecommissioned.' Fortunately most composers cheat a bit and most commissioners don't sit with stopwatches in their hands.1000bars is not 1000 bars long. I stopped when the piece was finished. However it did turn out to be exactly 4'33' in duration. What the piece itself is about has nothing to do with its title or length. - Kevin Volans
