You mean the basic idea of having a performance where the performers don't perform (or however you want to describe it). Regardless, the unnecessary nature of the physical composition still points me toward the whole thing being an intellectual endeavor
about music, rather than an actual musical one.
What separates 4'33 from being performance art about music, and being music?
