Only (1947). Morton Feldman /only when flight shall soar not for its own sake only/

Morton Feldman (via last.fm)

As I continue to try to use my ears rather than my eyes in my quest for interesting music, I managed to surprise myself with Morton Feldman's Only. With only a too-small-to-quickly-read album cover on lala as my guide, earlier today, I queued up a Feldman album I'd never seen before.

When the first track, Only, finally played, my first thought:

Why is there a vocal in the Berio piano album I was streaming at the time?

my second thought:

Hmm, lala has screwed up the track and this isn't really a Feldman album.

my third thought:

Feldman wrote songs. Cool.
