Great Music at St. Bart's Presents MORTON FELDMAN'S PATTERNS IN A CHROMATIC FIELD

Patterns in a Chromatic Field reflects Feldman's lifelong fascination with the Abstract Expressionist painters: “My compositions are not really 'compositions' at all,” Feldman said. “One might call them time canvasses in which I more or less prime the canvas with an overall hue of music.”
