Information about the chord change:

The picture shows the chord change 2022. The respective chord change in the performance of the composition ORGAN2/ASLSP by John Cage in Halberstadt is a special experience every time. The interest of numerous Cage fans from many countries and the international media interest are impressive proof of this. The total duration of the performance is 639 years. The German organist Gerd Zacher, to whom this piece is dedicated, premiered it in Metz in just over 29 minutes. The piece consists of eight parts, each of which must be played and each of which can be repeated. Nothing is fixed - apart from the pitch and duration of the sounds. The period between the sounds, i.e. between the sound changes, can be a few months or a few years when projected onto the total duration of 639 years. The score specifies the time at which the sound changes. To this end, the composition of the organ pipes in the Halberstadt organ is adjusted in a solemn ceremony.
 
Detailinformation about the Chord Change:
For the 16th change of chord on February 5, 2024, the composition of the organ pipes will be changed according to the score. The previous sound {c' (16'), des'(16'), dis', e', ais', e''} will become the sound {c' (16'), des'(16'), d', dis', e', ais', e''}. This means that the d' note is added to the organ specification.
