Morton Feldman is an America composer who was born in New York on January, 12 in 1926. His music can divide into the first, the second, the third to the times of each year. It used graphic techniques during the first period in 1960 and reported on the heads of notes such as traditional musical notation without tunes during the second periods in 1960 and we can distribute traditional musical notation to the third periods appearing after 1970 years. He used graphic techniques on his musical composition in the early periods. Graphic techniques means it will record a musical notation after using mark, chart and graph instead of using a traditional musical notation. So he will give the freedom of much choice to performance people instead of explaining in detail in the note of his music. It will get tensions through a delicate nuance to contrast tone colors and compass in dynamic extents which keeps his music fully. Feldman made an effort to increase and pursues notation of definite factors instead of using musical notation of graphic in the second periods and one of his famous works are Duration(1960-1962).
This music is compose of the instrumental music of five and he is making a different type of echo phase creating in playing each musical instrument. He also make an effort to pursue a simple music through his music in the extremity. And he gave American music lots of influence on the point of repetition practice in 1970.
He comes back again with traditional music notation in the third period. He comes to know how to disappear all indefinite aspects in the works after The Viola in my life(1970).
He was a musical composer which make with players and audiences and take a serious view of the process with J. Cage. He became the representative player of a accidental music in modern music of American with J. Cage.
