- Summary:
- 'The Marvelous Illusion' is a detailed analytical study of four of Morton Feldman's most important works. Morton Feldman was one of the most original composers of the 20th century, and throughout his career he attempted to locate sound at the moment the listener becomes conscious of its presence. Focusing on the listener's attention on the sounds themselves, Feldman created the 'marvelous illusion' of sounds shaping into coherent music through the act of perceiving them, rather than through the act of composing. Each work appears to assemble itself for the listener as they experience it.
