Morton Feldman
Morton Feldman was born in Queens, New York in 1926. He started piano lessons at the age of 12. In 1941 he began to study composition with Wallingford Riegger, and three years later Stefan Wolpe became his teacher. In 1950 he met John Cage, who was instrumental in encouraging Feldman to have faith in his instincts, which resulted in totally intuitive compositions. In 1973 the State University of New York at Buffalo asked Feldman to become the Edgar Varèse Professor, a post he held for the rest of life. He died in 1987 at his home in Buffalo.
Morton Feldman wurde 1926 im New Yorker Stadtteil Queens geboren. Im Alter von 12 Jahren erhielt er ersten Klavierunterricht. Ab 1941 war er Kompositionsschüler von Wallingford Riegger, drei Jahre später wurde Stefan Wolpe sein Lehrer. 1950 begegnete er John Cage, der ihn ermutigte, seinem kreativen Gespür zu folgen. Dies resultierte in gänzlich intuitiv verfassten Kompositionen. 1973 erhielt er einen Ruf an die State University of New York in Buffalo, wo er bis zu seinem Lebensende den Edgar-Varèse-Lehrstuhl innehatte. Er starb 1987 in seinem Haus in Buffalo.
