Morton Feldman Dances

Playing Feldman is like finding a room for myself, a transparent and bright place where the heartbeats slow down and deepen, and the movement gets precise, in my mind, in my breath, in my dance.This video has been taken by David Reid during a public performance in Conway Hall, London. Besides the unpublished works of his youth (from the Feldman collection at the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel, Switzerland), and the last great piano piece written shortly before his passing (Palais de Mari), I play the piano and do choreographic movement at the same time interpreting some pages written for dance in the 1950s. Part of this project - which had its first performances in Venice, Teatro Fondamenta Nuove, and in Padua, for the Centro d'Arte of the University - has been recorded in the USA on CD as a world premiere. The choreography of the Three Dances was performed for the first time in London in March 2006 for the launch of the book Morton Feldman Says, edited by Chris Villars. http://www.debora-petrina.com

this is so beautiful. your movement is as graceful, as patient, as subtle as the music itself. beautiful!

The thing I heard 20 years ago in chicago at 4:30 a.m. on public radio was called "Why Patterns" I wrote down M. Feldman and the name of the piece. This is the first I've heard since that morn... This is good,I think. eribisho

I'm doing the same thing... heard a little bio on Feldman on public radio while driving across the country from Bellingham, WA to Chicago about 5 years ago and I pulled over to write down his name. Just getting around to looking him up.

Quanto al resto, credo che sia stato il grande pubblico (e non soltanto io) ad aver decretato il fallimento di questa orrenda musica adiabatica, fatta di aria fritta e concetti cervellotici extramusicali senza senso, che tuttavia sono ancora tanto cari agli intellettuali da strapazzo.

Questo brano fa semplicemente pena. E i passi di danza dell'esecutrice lo rendono a dir poco ridicolo. Le solite degenerazioni da quattro soldi in nome dell'avanguardia. Quattro note sgangherate e tutto il resto CHIACCHERE!

Congratulazioni per la cultura, la sensilbilità e la capacità di argomentazione! Ma ci consoliamo del fatto che non proprio tutti la pensano così, nè ora nè nei passati 60 anni di storia della musica. P.S. 'chiacchiere' con la 'i', non come 'chicchere' o come 'nacchere'.

laurion69 (Tuesday 23rd of September 2008 09:21:05 AM)

Oggi impari, mio caro saputone, che si può scrivere anche chiacchiera senza "i". Visto che sei in vena di dare lezioni di italiano (ma forse dovrei dire di riceverle), vorrei farti osservare che "né" si scrive sempre con l'accento acuto, non grave.

challenging interpretation; I need to give it a while. but I bet Feldman would be pleased to see a pretty girl getting up off the bench.

how you manage to play so sensitively while you're all over the place is beyond me. i love it. this piece, just the music alone, is considerably more interesting than illusions, which is the only other piece i've heard from before 1951. thanks for sharing.

Amazing! Jusy when you think you know all your Feldman something like this reminds you that Morty was, in fact, a true avant-gardist. Illuminating.
