What?
Yeah that was a bit muddled sorry. What I was trying to say was that a silent composition can be carried out by an orchestra, but the intent of the notes or lack-there-of may be for the conductor to carry out. For example Mark Applebaum has a piece where no notes are played but there are three conductors carrying out their own interpretations of what the music would be conducted like of musicians were playing along with the composition.
