When Morton Feldman met John Cage in the winter of 1949, they quickly established a friendship based upon a similarity of intent and a mutual respect for the work each was doing. Soon thereafter, Feldman showed a string quartet he had been writing to Cage. Cage’s enthusiasm for this work, and delight in Feldman’s being unable to explain “how” he had written it, gave Feldman an all important “permission” to follow his intuition.
