Note 1: The most detailed and comprehensive list of Feldman's works yet published is that by
Sebastian Claren in his book "Neither. Die Musik Morton Feldmans" (Hofheim: Wolke Verlag, 2000) pp
547-575. The above list includes all Feldman's published works plus those unpublished works for
which Claren indicates that a manuscript exists. There are many other unpublished works for which
Claren indicates that only sketches exist. These are not included above.
Note 2: Feldman's early works for solo piano, originally published as separate scores, are now
available in a single album entitled "Morton Feldman: Solo Piano Works 1950-64" (Edition Peters No.
67976, 2000). The new edition is edited by Volker Straebel, who also contributes a detailed Preface and
comprehensive Notes on each piece. With the new edition, "Nature Pieces", "Variations",
"Intermission 3" and "Intermission 4" are published for the first time.
