Intersection 3, for piano (1953)

Tomoko Mukaiyama, piano

Morton Feldman's early Projections and Intersections pieces, written between 1950 and 1953, are series of 'graph' compositions in which [...] time is represented by space, and in which the spaced boxes specify only instrument, register, number of simultaneous sounds, mode of production, and duration. The two series differ in that the Projections are to be consistently quiet, while in the Intersections 'the player is free to choose any dynamic at any entrance but must maintain sameness of volume' - though 'what is desired in both ... is a pure (non-vibrating) tone'. In other works of the same period, such as the Extensions series or Structures for string quartet, Feldman used conventional notation in order to achieve non-compulsion differently, by having delicate figures repeated over and over again. But the ideal is essentially the same: as John Cage pointed out, 'Feldman's conventionally notated music is himself playing his graph music'. The exceptions to his world of low-density, low-speed, low-volume music were few and extreme: the hectically eventful Intersection III for piano, or the unrealized and probably unrealizable Intersection for tape.
