Morton Feldman was a groundbreaking American composer recognized for his influence on 20th-century classical music. He played a vital role in the avant-garde New York School of composers, working alongside John Cage, Christian Wolff, and Earle Brown. Feldman’s distinct musical style, featuring free-flowing rhythms, soft pitch variations, quiet evolving compositions, and asymmetric patterns, was shaped by his innovative notational techniques. His later compositions starting from 1977 pushed the boundaries of duration, establishing him as a forward-looking and impactful composer.
