Morton Feldman

Morton Feldman, born in New York in 1926, was a pioneering American composer who left an indelible mark on 20th-century music. A key figure in the experimental New York School, Feldman was known for his exceptionally long compositions and his innovative approach to time and sound. His works, often referred to as "Time Canvasses," are characterized by their expansive yet intimate nature, blending minimalism, avant-garde, and drone genres. Feldman's unique musical language, influenced by his studies with Maurina-Press and his association with John Cage, continues to captivate and challenge audiences worldwide. His pieces, such as "For Samuel Beckett" and "For Aaron Copland for Solo Violin," showcase his ability to create profound and immersive musical experiences.
