Four Compositions (1973) is an album by American saxophonist and composer Anthony Braxton recorded in Japan in 1973 and originally released on the Japanese Denon label in 1976.

[1][2][3][4] The album features Braxton's compositions dedicated to Richard Teitelbaum, Muhal Richard Abrams, Warne Marsh and Laurent Goddet.

The Allmusic review by Eugene Chadbourne stated "The fact that Braxton had been invited to Japan and had made a superior-quality recording of his own pieces with three good musicians was considered quite important, and it was even assumed by some that the hip Japanese players might have had more success with Braxton's music than some of the squares who were floundering around with it back home and in Europe.

...the skilled and quite creative Japanese musicians confront the dynamic of Braxton.

...As decades pass, documents such as this are audible pages out of the Braxton diary, memorable moments out of a lifetime of superb musical achievement".
