Anyone familiar with the music of the guy?
As a contemporary classical composer Morton Feldman worked on very creative instrumental pieces, in search of new way of writting (bringing to the fore the concepts of symmetry / asymmetry, rhthmic patterns). One of his most notorious work is Why Patterns / crippled symmetry for flute, bass flute, piano, vibraphone and celestia. I personnaly love his work for solo piano (always performed with a deep serenity) -------------

Being a bit of a fan of post-war artists such as Rothko and Pollock I was naturally led to Feldman's works when I found out about his links with these artists. The works that I have by Feldman are Rothko Chapel,For 3 Pianos/Extensions 4 and For voice only.Of these 3 my personal favourite is For 3 pianos.
Bliss! ------------- 
Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb. |
