Bücher von Thomas DeLio

Explores the concept of open structure as it has evolved in the music of the American avant-garde throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The works of five composers are examined in detail: John Cage, Morton Feldman, Christian Wolff, Robert Ashley and Alvin Lucier.

Morton Feldman (1926-1987) is today widely regarded as one of America's foremost experimental composers. these essays reveal as much about Feldman's own work and attitudes as they do about the work and thought of the many composers and artists about whom he wrote.
