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.
