1989 CD on ALM with Aki Takahashi performing the 1981 composition for piano in 1983. With OBI.

condition (disc/cover): EX / EX  Complete with OBI.

Triadic Memories (1981) is one of the great monuments of Morton Feldman's late period - a solo piano work of approximately ninety minutes that explores what happens when musical memory is systematically undermined. Material recurs but not quite as it was before, slightly altered in register, dynamic, or duration, so that the listener cannot be certain whether they are hearing something new or something remembered. Time, in this music, does not accumulate - it pools. The ALM pressing documents this extraordinary work in a Japanese edition, reflecting the particular seriousness with which Japanese labels approached Feldman's late music at a moment when it was still receiving relatively little attention in the West.
