[Bellman]

A very long 0rgan..................note.............'The Final Chord ?'

DELAYED IMPACT (Morphed from The Times)

An organ performance started in 2001 and is due to finish in 2693. The first chord was played 2 years ago, followed
by a prescriptive year and a halfs silence. The second chord was played yesterday .............and will be played
continuo for the next few years. The keys on the organ will be held down by weights, in order to allow the
organists time off for concert breaks and replacement by a long, long bench of substitutes.

The piece is Organ2/ASLSP (as slow as possible) by John Cage, the maestro of aleatoric (dodgy, decided by chance)
music and guru of Zen Budhism. How slow is as 'slow as possible' - but ''Till the crack of doom'' is the Budhist answer.

The Buchardi cathedral in Halberstadt Germany has been restored for the concert, but as we understand
that the opening chords sound like a triad of six whistles, some ear drums will have to wait until 2639 for 'restoration'
