MORTON FELDMAN – ‘FOR BUNITA MARCUS’ 2LP
In the 1980’s, Morton Feldman composed two large-sized pieces for his favorite instrument, the piano. Both pieces, Triadic Memories (1981) and For Bunita Marcus(1985), clock in at about 90 minutes. Both compositions are excellent examples of the group of works that they belong to: Triadic Memories demonstrates the complexity and tonal opulence of Feldman’s pattern compositions from 1977 through 1983, whereas For Bunita Marcus shows the stripped-down, almost dismissive structures of his last works created from 1984 to 1987. Feldman himself described For Bunita Marcus as a piece in which he “seriously grappled with the idea of meter”.
