Das Streichquartett wurde am 4. Mai 1980 vom Columbia Quartett im Drawing Center in New York City uraufgeführt. Die Aufführung dauerte weit über anderthalb Stunden, daher der Spitzname "100 Minuten", unter dem dieses Stück bekannt ist. Eine Wiederholung der Aufführung durch dieselbe Gruppe fand einen Monat später im Juni im Rahmen des Buffalo Festivals statt. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt scheint Feldman gezögert zu haben, denn als er zum Komponieren zurückkehrte, schuf er drei Werke von mehr oder weniger konventioneller Länge. Erst nach der ersten Aufführung des Quartetts an der Westküste, fast ein Jahr später, kam er darauf zurück, um das lange Stück zu bearbeiten. Die über siebzigminütige Untitled Composition für Cello und Klavier wurde kurz darauf fertiggestellt, und schließlich verpflichtete ihn der Erfolg von Triadic Memories für Klavier solo vom 23. Juli 1981 voll und ganz zu dieser neuen Richtung.
The String Quartet was first performed on 4th May, 1980, by the Columbia Quartet at the Drawing Center in New York City. The performance lasted well over one and a half hours, hence the nick-name of “100 minutes” by which this piece is known. A repeat performance by the same group took place a month later during June in the Buffalo Festival. At this point Feldman seems to have hesitated, for when he returned to composing he created three works of more or less conventional length. It was not until after the first West Coast performance of the Quartet, almost a year later, that he returned to explore the long piece. The overseventy- minute Untitled Composition for cello and piano, was completed shortly thereafter, and finally, the success of Triadic Memories for solo piano, dated 23rd July, 1981, committed him fully to this new direction.
