108 (1991, for orchestra) is written for the largest ensemble of any of 
Cage's Number Pieces. Its length of 43'30" is an allusion - intentional or 
not - to the infamous 4'33" (1952) that earned Cage considerable fame. 108 is 
in four movements and, when played by itself, more closely resembles a 
traditional symphony than any other piece in Cage's output.
