| Morton Feldman: Structures (1951) |

Arditti Quartet performs.
"After [my first meeting with John Cage] I
brought John a string quartet. He looked at
it a long time and then said, 'How did you
make this?' I thought of my constant quarrels
with Wolpe, and how just a week before, after
showing a composition of mine to Milton
Babbitt and answering his questions as
intelligently as I could, he said to me,
'Morton, I don't understand a word you're
saying.' And so, in a very weak voice I
answered John, 'I don't know how I made it.'
The response to this was startling. John
jumped up and down, and with a kind of high
monkey squeal, screeched, 'Isn't that
marvelous. Isn't that wonderful. It's so
beautiful, and he doesn't know how he made
it.' Quite frankly, I sometimes wonder how my
music would have turned out if John had not
given me those early permissions to have
confidence in my instincts." -Morton Feldman
(from "Liner Notes")
