Cage's last series of works was a total of 47 so-called "number pieces" written between 1987 and 1992. They are performed on this CD by Ami Flammer (violin and rainsticks), Martine Joste (piano and rainsticks), Dominique Alchourroun (piano and rainsticks), and Jean Michaut (rainsticks). The title Four3, describes four "interpenetrating" activities (silence, rainsticks, a high note without vibrato, two pianists playing random fragments from Cage's Extended Lullaby) and only incidentally four performers, similar to Robert Ashley's Trios (White on White) for various instruments (1963). This has a subtle and mysterious landscape effect. One5 for Piano Solo is a 21-minute piece, made from 21 isolated sound "tanks" for the left hand and 24 for the right hand which are freely chosen by the performer. The sustaining pedal is used to overlap these sounds. Dynamics are also left to the performer, as is duration to a certain extent. In Two6 for Violin and Piano, each performer has two "data banks" of materials with which to fill the time brackets that total 20 minutes. And silence is always an option. The violinist either plays at the verge of audibility, or plays a florid passage. The pianist may select from an ascending scale of sonorities, and may also play from the Extended Lullaby, the set of (quasi-)random variations that Cage composed on Erik Satie's Vexations. The parts are realized by the performers from these materials, as they are encouraged to maintain a sense of the "intangible" which these performances achieve beautifully. ~ "Blue Gene" Tyranny, All Music Guide

Like fellow composers John Cage, Christian Wolff, and Earle Brown, Morton Feldman experimented for a time with graphic notation, and toyed with the various possibilities of this looser, less prescriptive method. While free of serialist clichés and conventions, the musical results on Composing by Numbers are subject to the limitations of the players' collective imagination, and tend toward a rarefied pointillism -- a cliché in its own right -- that only a devoted fan can follow with persistence. If the brief pieces from the 1950s are heard individually, they seem frustratingly airy, abrupt, and aphoristic; but if heard in sequence, then the changes of instrumentation and different timbral effects at least provide some aural relief. Perhaps most satisfying for its spectral textures, continuity, and length is Intersection I (1951), which the Barton Workshop realizes with much fuller harmonies and richer sonorities. Out of "Last Pieces," The Straits of Magellan (both 1961), and In Search of an Orchestration (1967) are more active than the earlier Projections, and adventurous listeners may appreciate these later compositions for their greater complexity and tension. The ensemble, alternately conducted by James Fulkerson and Jos Zwaanenburg, specializes in the more arcane and experimental music of the late avant-garde, and its explorations of Feldman's graphic scores are a welcome addition to the catalog, even if they are not as absorbing or compelling as many of his later efforts. ~ Blair Sanderson, All Music Guide
