Violin & Piano

Album by Morton Feldman & Andreas Seidel & Steffen Schleiermacher

Violin and Piano is a composition by American composer Morton Feldman, composed in 1950. The piece is an early example of Feldman's move towards quiet, sparse textures and extended durations, employing delicate sustained tones and soft dynamics that eschew traditional rhythmic drive, and it occupies a place in his development as a figure in the American avant-garde of the mid-20th century.
