PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Ryan Dohoney is Associate Professor of Musicology in the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University, USA. He specializes in experimental music in the US and Europe since World War II.
Dohoney's graceful and affecting meditation on the plexus of Feldman's relationships compellingly surveys Feldman's dedication-and his dedications-to his friends, his love for poetry, painting, and for their makers, and the mourning and melancholy that ultimately tied them together. Feldman's music becomes increasingly concerned, in Dohoney's vivid account, with what survives, what endures, and what can still be heard, even as it ebbs. * Martin Iddon, Professor of Music and Aesthetics, University of Leeds, UK * Ryan Dohoney's book distinctively illuminates and contextualizes Morton Feldman's modernist music. It is an account of Feldman's relationships, in particular, with the poet and art writer Frank O'Hara and the visual artist Philip Guston. Two large themes emerge, friendship and death. This is a new kind of musicology, with much detailed historical research that also finds emotional elements central to understanding the music, an affective account of what Feldman would call his life in art. It puts together the personal and what we have out there, the music. * Christian Wolff, composer and Jacob H. Strauss 1922 Professor of Music, Emeritus, Dartmouth College, USA *
