Background: Henry Cowell was one of the most remarkable figures in American music. A startlingly innovative composer, an inimitable piano virtuoso who outraged or delighted his audiences, a brilliant writer, teacher, lecturer and organizer, Cowell almost single-handedly laid the foundations for American compositional life.

This selection of works from Cowell's entire compositional career includes some of his most experimental piano pieces, in which fingers, palms, fists and forearms are used on the keyboard. Other works such as the Suite for Violin and Piano and the Quartet fuse advanced compositional techniques with the language of the baroque suite. Yet, however advanced his ideas, or multifaceted his output, Cowell's music remains immediately accessible.
