Morton Feldman is widely regarded as one of America's greatest
composers. His music is famously idiosyncratic, but, in many cases,
the way he presented it is also unusual because, in the 1950s and
1960s, he often composed in non-standard musical notations,
including a groundbreaking variety on graph paper that facilitated
deliberately imprecise specifications of pitch and, at times, other
musical parameters. Feldman used this notation, intermittently,
over seventeen years, producing numerous graph works that invite
analysis as an evolving series. Taking this approach, David Cline
marshals a wide range of source materials - many previously
unpublished - in clarifying the ideology, organisation and
generative history of these graphs and their formative role in the
chronicle of post-war music. This assists in pinpointing
connections with Feldman's compositions in other formats, works by
other composers, notably John Cage, and contemporary currents in
painting. Performance practice is examined through analysis of
Feldman's non-notated preferences and David Tudor's celebrated
interpretations.
