My favourite magazine published an 'English translation' [sic] of a musical score (N.B. typos are part of the score):
'one performer
the performer determines a sound.
the duration of the performance is not
determined.the performer does not use a watch.
the performer plays the sound lasting three to
seven seconds three times during the duration
of the performance.
for itself.simple.
I have to thank a Dutch pianist for the following explanation:
'If in a performance only three sounds in a performance are intentionally made ... how can they not be monumental?'
The piece is monumental unless the listener can prove otherwise.
BTW, the repetition of 'in a performance' in the explanation is as meaningful as the third note in the score
