Morton Feldman (1926-1987) is today widely regarded as one of
America's foremost experimental composers. His unique body of
compositions, as well as his numerous writings and interviews,
provide a vast amount of source material for scholarly research.
Yet, few have seriously examined his work. This collection of
essays will help rectify this situation.
This book begins with a brief work by John Cage written in honor
of Morton Feldman. It is followed by a series of essays that
challenge some views of Feldman's music and clarify many others.
The collection concludes with a selection of essays written by the
composer himself; these essays reveal as much about Feldman's own
work and attitudes as they do about the work and thought of the
many composers and artists about whom he wrote. The volume
concludes with a list of Feldman's compositions, a bibliography,
and a discography. This study, the first of a series of Profiles of
American Composers, will be invaluable to musicologists and all
involved with the music of the 20th century.
