String Quartet (II)

Album by Morton Feldman & Ives Ensemble

String Quartet No. 2 is a string quartet composition by American composer Morton Feldman, composed in 1983. The work exemplifies Feldman's late-period aesthetic with extended duration, extremely quiet dynamics, sparse, slowly evolving textures and an emphasis on timbral nuance, marking a turn towards expansive, time-focused pieces within late 20th-century chamber music.
