🎼 Morton Feldman & John Cage
Morton Feldman and John Cage shared one of the most consequential friendships in 20th-century music — a relationship built on trust, curiosity, and a shared desire to free sound from tradition.

They met in New York in 1950, after a concert by Webern, and quickly became central figures of what would later be known as the New York School, alongside Earle Brown and Christian Wolff.
Cage encouraged Feldman to trust his instincts, to write music that moved slowly, quietly, and without conventional development. Feldman, in turn, pursued a deeply personal path where time dissolves and sound exists purely for itself.

While Cage embraced chance and indeterminacy, Feldman sought precision, softness, and fragile balance.
Their approaches differed, but their goal was shared: to change how we listen.

Their friendship was not without tension, but its impact was immense.
Together, they helped redefine the very idea of musical experience — replacing drama with presence, and control with attention.

🎧 With Cage and Feldman, music stopped telling stories — and began asking us simply to listen.
