My favorite performance of this wonderful piece. Karis brings warmth and emotion to a work that can sound cold. There's a repeating thematic fragment that I think is the same as the theme of Copland's Piano Variations, another piece I love.
I play this quite a lot. The counting of and adjusting to beats/time sigs means the player's experience is radically different to the listener's, who just hears it not quite drifting along. I made a version with no time sigs or barlines - makes the playing experience quite different.
Lovely touch and control but the rests are often shortened. Part of the magic of this piece is not letting the rests become consistent or repetitive: the subtly varying durations of resonance are as potentially magical as the notes.
I agree with you entirely. This is what Feldman is aiming for in his much longer late works too: a sense of repetition that is not repetition....a disorientation of the listener, who feels that they have heard this sequence of notes before, but perhaps has misremembered them, because they occur in a subtly different form, with an alteration in timing, duration, resonance. As if there are repetitive patterns at work, but they occur so slowly we're no longer sure they're even repetitions....
@@patrickniehus3132 You've very eloquently described not only my experience of first seeing a performance of patterns in a chromatic field but also Feldman's own description of looking at gigantic Rothko canvases, where his vision could only encompass a small portion at once, then when he moved to examine other portions he couldn't be certain whether they were identical or just similar...
@@markgcarroll it's such effortlessly beautiful music, but it's not effortless at all, it's very finely crafted, and it can be a very disorienting experience listening to Feldman, like you're lost in a sea of sound with no landmarks as a point of reference for where you are, and where you might be going!
@@markgcarroll that is precisely something I find daunting about looking at works by Rothko....where do they begin? Where do they end? What exactly am I looking at? What am I looking 'for'?
There is a great deal of beauty in works by Rothko, though I sometimes struggle to see it; but I think there is a great deal of sorrow, too, in his paintings, and unfortunately I can see why his life might have ended the way it did - and I hope I'm not being too reductive, or letting the facts of his life obscure my judgement....

Stravinsky: I am the best at changing time signatures!
Bartok: hold my beer.
Feldman: _Amateurs_
@Yavuz İbrahim Yüksel indeed it is

It would be more like "Bartók: hold my Tokay" :)

This piece is very fun to try to sight-read. So different from other piano music
Love this perfect balance/duality between simplicity and complexity
Duly unforgettable. This is the sonic equivalent of watching icebergs melt at night.
@@litbyrequest7348 you don't have to listen to it then!
Such a great piece with so few notes, so much space which makes the every note mean so much more.
It’s such a beautiful piece of music😊

Me encanta, próxima obra en mi lista
Feel free to sing along if you know the tune.
There is no tune and that is not necessary
@@samvanderbijl1201 OK. Don't sing along or even hum, not while it is playing or anytime afterwards,
@@stephenjablonsky1941 but you shouldn't expect that from this music. just as you should not expect recognizable objects with abstract art.
@@samvanderbijl1201 Expect nothing and you will never be disappointed
