Composed by Thomas Oboe Lee. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score. 20 pages. Thomas Oboe Lee #3384143. Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.869565).Program note:
While browsing Amazon I stumbled upon a number of CD recordings of Morton Feldman’s 60-minute-plus work for solo piano, "For Bunita Marcus." So I decided to give the music a listen. The experience of listening to the music was quite amazing.
Confession: I have always been an admirer of Feldman’s "minimalist" music - its spare, lingering, and acoustically gorgeous sonorities.
I had just finished a Horn Trio for Irina Muresanu and was not yet ready to embark on a song cycle with text by the Italian playwright Luigi Pirandello. So I said to myself why not write a "morton feldman-like" solo piano piece, just for the hell of it?
So, I did. I thought the idea of using "chance" in the style of John Cage would be appropriate to a Morton Feldman piece. In my case, I used a deck of cards. I started composing on November 14 and finished seven days later on the 21st.
The work (unlike MF's unusual lengths) is only 20 minutes long.
