Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.869565 Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score. 20 pages. Thomas Oboe Lee #3384143. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.869565). Program note: While browsing Amazon I stumbled upon a number of CD recordings of Morton Feldman’s 60-minute-plus work for solo piano, For Bunita Marcus. So I decided to give the music a listen. The experience of listening to the music was quite amazing. Confession: I have always been an admirer of Feldman’s minimalist music - its spare, lingering, and acoustically gorgeous sonorities. I had just finished a Horn Trio for Irina Muresanu and was not yet ready to embark on a song cycle with text by the Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello. So I said to myself why not write a morton feldman-like solo piano piece, just for the hell of it? So, I did. I thought the idea of using chance in the style of John Cage would be appropriate to a Morton Feldman piece. In my case, I used a deck of cards. I started composing on November 14 and finished seven days later on the 21st. The work (unlike MF's unusual lengths) is only 20 minutes long.Bandcamp link: https://thomasoboelee.bandcamp.com/album/for-morton-feldman-2017Video link: https://youtu.be/vCGAIBz2SMY
