摘　　要：In accordance to Langerian aesthetic theory, Mark Campbell （1992） concludes that Cage＇s 4 33＂ （1952） is by no means aesthetic music. I argue the antithesis： Cage＇s 433＂ satisfies Langerian aesthetic theory, and is indeed ＂aesthetic＂ music. Cage does something more： he satisfies Langerian aesthetic theory, yet he is not limited by it. He does not simply create music, nor does he offer listeners a musical space. He creates what Gilles Deleuze and Fe1ix Guattari （1987） call a line of becoming that passes between music making and a musical space. In 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence, Cage presents a sense of emptiness and numbness felt simultaneously with fullness and explosion. In what appears to be stillness, the listener experiences the flux of movement; what appears to be devoid of depth, is filled with complexities. 433＂ embraces chance, uncertainty, and the unknown; it is an experimental process; it is becoming-music in 4 minutes and 33 seconds.
