Morton Feldman
Piano and String Quartet (1985)
Compared to his String Quartet No. 2, a one movement work lasting around 6 hours, Morton Feldman's dreamy 80 minute Piano and String Quartet feels like a brief moment. We promise memorable midnight music as the longest day of the year begins.
Up to one hour you think about form, but after an hour and a half it's scale. Form is easy: just the division of things into parts. But scale is another matter.
—Morton Feldman
