i always think of zen buddhism when faced with this work; accordingly, many performances (especially on you tube) seem to be missing that aspect of the composition: being fully present in the here and now.
sitting in a concert hall with other audience members in "silence" feels much different to me from watching a video by myself of several folks (all white men, incidentally) hanging out on my computer's video screen.
other interpretations possible (obviously).
