MORTON FELDMAN: Musik für den Mann auf der Straße


MORTON FELDMAN 


Musik für den Mann auf der Straße?










"My teacher Stefan Wolpe was a Marxist and he felt my music was too esoteric at the time. And he had his studio on a proletarian street, on Fourteenth Street and Sixth Avenue. . . . He was on the second floor and we were looking out the window, and he said, “What about the man on the street?” At that moment . . . Jackson Pollock was crossing the street. The crazy artist of my generation was crossing the street at that moment." Morton Feldman (!926-1987), composer
