Morton Feldman citáty

Morton Feldman byl americký hudební skladatel.

Byl blízkým přítelem Johna Cage, který ho seznámil s dalšími důležitými postavami newyorské umělecké scény: Jacksonem Pollockem, Philipem Gustonem, Frankem O'Harou a Samuelem Beckettem. Byl inspirován tvorbou abstraktních expresionistů.

Na sklonku svého života komponoval především extrémně dlouhé skladby , ve kterých jejich hlavním elementem byly tiché a klidné tóny. Wikipedia

Morton Feldman: Citáty anglicky

“If you don't have a friend who's a painter, you're in trouble.”

Cited as having said that to John Cage in 1952 in Begin Again: A Bibliography of John Cage by Kenneth Silverman, p. 96 https://books.google.com/books?id=i11wgznLRZIC&pg=PA79&hl=pl&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=3#v=onepage&q&f=true.

“The composer makes plans, music laughs.”

Quoted in Give My Regards to Eighth Street: Collected Writings of Morton Feldman, ISBN 1878972316.

“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.
