Morton Feldman (January 12, 1926 – September 3, 1987) was an American composer, born in New York City.

A major figure in 20th century music, Feldman was a pioneer of indeterminate music, a development associated with the experimental New York School of composers also including John Cage, Christian Wolff, and Earle Brown. Feldman’s works are characterized by notational innovations which he developed to create his characteristic sound: rhythms which seem to be free and floating; pitch shadings which seem softly unfocussed; a generally quiet and slowly evolving music; recurring asymmetric patterns. His later works, after 1977, also begin to explore extremes of duration.

Biography
Feldman studied piano with Madame Maurina-Press, a pupil of Ferruccio Busoni, and later composition with Wallingford Riegger and Stefan Wolpe. He did not agree with many of the views of these composition teachers, and he spent much of his time simply arguing with them. He was composing at this time, but in a style very different from that with which he would later be associated.

In 1950, Feldman went to hear the New York Philharmonic give a performance of Anton Webern’s Symphony. At the concert, he met John Cage. The two became good friends, with Feldman moving into the apartment downstairs from Cage. With encouragement from Cage, Feldman began to write pieces which had no relation to compositional systems of the past, such as the constraints of traditional harmony or the serial technique.

    That's right, I remember now. It's an interesting notion. If someone were to tell me that they thought of Feldman's music as a lot of silence with some notes rather than some notes with a lot of silence, I would not make weird faces at them. If you apply this to the public transit thing you mentioned you wouldn't be wrong to associate 'a lot of silence' with the awkwardness and 'some notes' with the occasionally realized recognition that it's weird. I listened to patterns in chromatic field today while sitting in jury duty and it was pretty funny.

    Scriabinist, I think one of them may have been me. I compared my experience of some of Feldman's music to, not the experience of watching another die, but to the tension I feel around other people when mutual recognition is impossible or discouraged. For example, in America (and other places as well I suppose) our custom in public transit vehicles is to sit or stand wherever we are and stare straight ahead, no interaction of any kind. I guess one can get used to it, but for me it's often a draining experience.

    A few months ago one or two people posted follow-up experiences and takes on handmeups' comments below. They were fascinating but have unfortunately been deleted for no reason. Feldman's body of music is one of the closest representations I can imagine of death personified as music. Stasis rather than forward propulsion, an infinite crawling toward the everlasting light. lifelessness is its essence. sometimes it's painful, sometimes it's beautiful, or both, but it's always worth experiencing or contemplating. True master of wandering music. you are a ghost when you listen to Feldman.

    Second String Quartet was the first time I watched someone die. It's sadness, and my anxiety, was our knowing my difficulty in accepting it's death and the impossibility of integrating its life into a totality.

    If you've got a spare 5 hours, give the Second String Quartet a go. Hypnotic!
