Feldman completed his piano quartet, which is not actually titled as such but rather Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello, on May 28, 1987. He could not have foreseen that this would be his last work.

An hour and fifteen minutes is long for a piano quartet, but it pales in comparison to the nearly five hours of Crippled Symmetry and the six hours of the Second String Quartet. Morton Feldman (1926-1987) is renowned for compositions that are simultaneously the longest, softest, and slowest.

"It is often the case that Morton Feldman's delicate music always takes a while to reach the ear from the instruments. But once it arrives, its intense activity develops in certain areas of the brain, and you listen with fascination to the gradual sequence of chords and changes that unfold, not wanting to miss anything."
