Album Notes & Community Reviews

Composed in 1981 by the American avant-garde pioneer, 'Triadic Memories' is a monumental solo piano work demanding extreme concentration and delicate endurance. This particular recording by Japanese pianist Aki Takahashi beautifully captures the piece's sparse, hovering dissonance and its profound manipulation of musical scale and time. The quiet, glacially paced performance highlights Feldman鈥檚 obsession with acoustic decay and the physical resonance of the instrument.
