Morton Feldman (1926-1987)
Triadic Memories (dedicated to Aki Takahashi and Roger Woodward)
From the recording "Morton Feldman: Triadic Memories" (Etcetera Records), winner of the Diapason d'Or

"In 1981 Morty completed a ninety-minute work in his new experimental style entitled Triadic Memories, comprising one long movement. Describing the piece as "the largest butterfly in captivity," he dedicated it to both the Japanese pianist Aki Takahashi and me, referring to us as the work's yin and yang components. At its American premiere, Morty mentioned how he held memories of a triad of pianists, the third being David Tudor (1926-96), John Cage's partner, with whom he had worked frequently."
