Title: Four instruments do so much with so few notes
Product review: I think I read somewhere that Morton Feldman's compositions were getting lengthier and lengthier towards the end of his life. I don't have the date of his death on hand, but I'm sure this string quartet from 1979 qualifies as one of those. 76 minutes, the back says.And most of that time is used up stirring some sort of celestial-sized pot of sighing dissonance, intermittent silences, and a small dose of stabbing. Is this what happens when you get old? You hold the capability of creating a piece of music where four stringed instruments can conjure images of a planet barely moving in space?Extraordinary. Don't bother if you are allergic to something discordant or minimal.
