Do musicians have to tune up for John Cage's 4'33 ?

Yes, they do. The Cage piece is about the total experience of a live
musical performance
but with just one ingredient - namely the audible music itself - removed.

The piece is an interesting concept, but in my opinion can't work as
intended because the absence of the music itself makes the experience so
exceptional that you can't really get past that particular aspect.
