A big meal. Nonken/Dufourt a very enticing cheese plate. On Richter/Schubert, I don't know if the tempo doesn't intensify the harmonic manoeuvres and meanders.
Thanks, Paul. On Richter/Schubert, I take my bearings from the impact Richter's tempo has on the dissonances at the end of bar 6 and the middle of bar 9, but yes, there's a thickening of line as well as a fracturing of it. Tempo really changes things!
Great roundup, Tim! Antti Tolvi's approach to the Feldman is quite absorbing, it's a wonder no one thought of it sooner. And Marilyn Nonken is an extraordinary player (she premiered my most recent piece).
For a much wilder take on Feldman, I recommend pianist Thomas Kotcheff and electronic artist Bryan Kurt Costors' 'Between Systems,' in which they refract nine mid-century Cage and Feldman piano pieces through an electronic lens.
Thanks, Steve. I’ll take a listen to Between Systems (even if I’ve twice misread your post as ‘mid-nineteenth-century Cage and Feldman’ and assumed you must be pulling my leg …)

LOL – I'd love to hear some 19th-century Feldman and Cage!
