From the Feldman list:
"I think in colors. I think in masses and colors and planes. I don't start to write a piece of music with a twelve tone row or something like that, or even coming up with a melody and then trying to figure out what to do next. I start with a total concept. And then I try to fulfill what my imagination has already given me inside. Mozart said that he visualized a piece of music almost instantly. I do that and it takes me a long time to get it down on paper. I change it and change it and sometimes I can't even get it on paper. I've experienced that over and over. But once I start thinking about a new piece, I get a pretty clear picture of what I'm going to do. And then I go into the details." (EB in conversation with PK January, 2000) First graphic notation (1952) First proportional notation (1952) Open Form concept (late 50s) Spontaneous direction of orchestra performance (1961) Earle Brown died this morning. I thought you might want to know.
