Flutist Rachel Beetz and pianist Ran Duan perform Morton Feldman's (1926-1987) For Christian Wolff for flute, piano and celeste. Feldman composed the piece late in his career and it stands alongside For John Cage and For Philip Guston as one of his most highly regarded works. For Christian Wolff lasts roughly three hours, carrying the listener on a subtly nuanced journey that explores various meditative states. Wolff is a composer and pianist born in France who relocated to the United States in 1941. Shortly after Feldman met Cage, Wolff began studying composition with Cage at the age of 16. Wolff is also known for his performances of experimental music with Rzewski and Cardew, often with sociopolitical themes.
