John Cage was fond of indeterminacy, not knowing what would happen in a piece, so I would think not. He would probably enjoy it because it adds a new element to the piece. He also once said something along the lines of every person watching a performance in his/her own way, and it's as much their right to do as they please as it is for him as the composer. Plus in a lot of the performances people start talking once they realize that the performers aren't doing anything.

What was the last essay you wrote?
