A major figure in 20th century music, Morton Feldman was a pioneer of indeterminate music, a development associated with the experimental New York School of composers also including John Cage, Christian Wolff, and Earle Brown. Feldman's works are characterized by notational innovations which he developed to create his characteristic sound: rhythms which seem to be free and floating; pitch shadings which seem softly unfocused; a generally quiet and slowly evolving music; recurring asymmetric patterns. His later works, after 1977, also begin to explore extremes of duration.

Written two years before his death in 1987, Morton Feldman's Piano and String Quartet is a shimmering, pristine musical event. Contrasting Aki Takahashi's widely-spaced piano arpeggios with Kronos Quartet's extended chords, Feldman allows lingering sounds from either the piano or the strings to haze over many of the piece's near-silences. Kronos plays their parts with tremulous fragility, often making pointedly clear the viola's musical valley between the leading violins and the trailing cello. By the time Feldman composed this piece, he was deeply committed to extended works—chamber pieces that could telescope motifs and worry their tonality so that it warbled between hauntingly atonal and familiarly tonal singing.

The temporal scale of many of Morton Feldman's late works can be vast, though the performing forces and musical events within them are quite small and intimate, as in For Christian Wolff, a piece of nearly three hours' duration for flute, piano, and celesta. Along with the other expansive works of Feldman's great burst of creativity before his death in 1987…

Tilbury left communist Poland in 1964 and his visits grew rare. He got involved with Cornelius Cardew’s Scrath Orchestra and the AMM; later he went on to become known for his performances of Morton Feldman’s compositions. Meanwhile Zygmunt Krauze, aside from his work in the Musical Workshop, grew to be his generation’s leading conceptual composer, mainly thanks to his reception of Władysław Strzemiński’s unism. The worlds of Krauze and Tilbury were sepa- rate, but adjacent.

As a potpourri of elegiac beauty, the disc opens with five pieces of Charles Ives' mysterious and yet hauntingly beautiful "The Unanswered Question", performed with subtle clarity and undersatement by Dawn Upshaw who lends the extra touch of eloquence in the shifting landscape that also includes the music of Morton Feldman's ''Madame Press Died Last Week at Ninety,'' a delicious, tiny memoir of his onetime piano teacher; Ingram Marshall's ''Fog Tropes,'' a haunting tone-picture that merges taped sounds of San Francisco into an instrumental ensemble; and the quiet grief of the young David Diamond in his 1938 ''Elegy in Memory of Maurice Ravel,'' noting the passing of his friend and teacher with the sincerest form of flattery.

…If you’re unfamiliar with Feldman’s nuanced, nondevelopmental music, this may not be the easiest point of entry, but . . . well, there probably isn’t an easy point of entry after all, so why not just dive in?
