Morton Feldman ― Bass Clarinet & Percussion 

i really do enjoy playing but it's hard

Meh, leaves me pretty cold either way. Certainly don’t love or like it, not enough there to hate either.

yes, to be more precise, I think people almost all like it

The only middle is Feldman himself, chaining it to an unpredictable signature.

@@DavidRutten listen 10 times, then you will love it.

Not really, it's not framed within a tonality.

​@@jackgallahan9669 I don't think Feldman had a consistent, categorizable approach to tonality. He certainly didn't shun the octave the way the serialists did, but he also was very fond of m9ths and M7s very much like Webern. I think his general musical goal was to keep things in flux and not imply any kind of harmonic motion, so that any attempt to fit him into a tonal scheme is doomed to failure, and even kind of misses the point of his aesthetic.

I wish I knew that. Thank you!

shut the fuck up man

@@lasmluclasm3781 turn up the Feld, man.

a pox on your peace! i'm perplexed!

You are right.

Welcome

I think it's a very fast car or motorcycle outside the university building.

I'm going with a truck outside accelerating from a stopped position. Fascinating timing!

Yeah that was spooky

It's a pity Feldman didn't have you around to learn about composition from, and had to make do with people like John Cage, George Antheil and Henry Cowell.

@@alexwastakenwastaken Those people aren't played much anymore. Not surprising.
