Morton Feldman: "Piano and String Quartet"

Could this be what eternity sounds like? A performance of "Piano and String Quartet", a late work by the American composer Morton Feldman (1926–87), lasts some 80 minutes – yet in all that time we hear little more than delicate, endlessly resonating piano arpeggios and sustained string chords. This crystalline study in pianissimo seems to have no beginning and no end, no sense of direction – there is only surrender to the present moment of sound. Listening to it is a paradoxical experience: in its radical stillness, Feldman's slow-motion music exerts a powerful pull. "The first 30 minutes feel a little bit slow because the piece is made of these surreal, beautiful, slow moving – or almost not moving — harmonies," Víkingur remarks. "It's just this way of being. The next 30 minutes go by so much faster. And the last 30 minutes, believe it or not, go by in a flash." He was especially eager to return to this "one-of-a-kind" piece, which he last performed a decade ago. The setting will add to the magic, with the audience seated onstage, close to the five performers.
