MORTON FELDMAN
Musik für den Mann auf der Straße?

"My teacher Stefan Wolpe was a Marxist and he
felt my music was too esoteric at the time. And he had his studio on a
proletarian street, on Fourteenth Street and Sixth Avenue. . . . He was on the
second floor and we were looking out the window, and he said, “What about the
man on the street?” At that moment . . . Jackson Pollock was crossing the
street. The crazy artist of my generation was crossing the street at that
moment." Morton Feldman (!926-1987), composer
