This performance completely neglects the subtle but definite rhythm changes from measure to measure that Feldman notates. I feel like I'm listening to an oom-pah-pah waltz. Wrong!
This is way too loud! And why do I hear rain and talking? I know that Morton Feldman liked his music quiet and undisturbed by sounds from the environment. My advise listen to it in a quiet room.
In this video it seems as if it rains - well it actually does not rain. It seems to be a bad copy of the concert. Altho ... I actually LIKE the "rain". Sounds pretty cool :>]
i was not saying anything about the music, but i was saying he, himself, was. read "give my regards to eighth street"--a collection of essays by his own hand. he mentions this composition.

This man playing and speaking, Roger Woodward, is my piano teacher at San Francisco State University! He's amazing!

I was really into this until the woman began talking and then translating what the other guy was saying.

Great Franz Kline slides, but this recording is just riddled with rhythmic inaccuracies. The piano is not even in tune.

Still - I _LOVE_ this version. The rain does it for me ;)

You are right, but the "rythmic inaccuracies" are actually in the score.

Actually itmediaco is correct: the rhythm is actually much MORE irregular than Woodward plays it. Just look at the score, or any other recording.

Well, it actually rained ... "That night it poured, and the rain on the tin roof of the ICA theatre was almost louder than the music."

implied overtones? i think he was too conflicted to know himself. what a mind.

"Too conflicted to know" ? I'm not agree with you, Deseant : this music is peaceful and not conflicted...
