Morton Feldman viewed Piano and String Quartet as his capstone
work-the culminating example of the aesthetic that Feldman spent
his life seeking. Written in 1985, the year before Feldman's death,
this single movement, roughly 80-minute composition was heralded by
Steve Reich as "the most beautiful work [of Feldman's] I know." Ray
Fields presents a detailed analysis of the complete piece and
examines the elements that contribute to its formal and expressive
design, including local and large-scale temporal architecture,
pitch/interval formations, texture, timbre, and register. It
discusses the aural experience of the music itself and provides
insights into Feldman's aesthetic influences. Basic biographical
information is provided, describing the music of his early, middle,
and late periods and providing an overview of analyses of other
Feldman works. By examining this beloved piece, the book addresses
the question: what was everything Feldman wanted in his music? Also
included are interviews with Kronos Quartet's David Harrington
about the origins of Piano and String Quartet and Aki Takahashi
providing crucial information about the work.
