Two Pianos and Other Pieces, 1953-1969

Album by Morton Feldman & John Tilbury & Philip Thomas

Two Pianos and Other Pieces, 1953–1969 is a compilation album by American composer Morton Feldman, gathering works written between 1953 and 1969. The recordings illustrate Feldman's progression from shorter, more rhythmically oriented pieces to his later emphasis on extended durations, very quiet dynamic ranges and sparse, fragile textures, documenting a key phase in his development within post-war experimental music.
