Leo Ornstein - Piano Music


something special for you tonight!

a pioneer in experimental composition, leo ornstein used tone clusters, large masses of contiguous notes well known from the wide use of classical great henry cowell, to their widest extent. his pieces can range from the peaceful serenity of classical sonatas to brutal and technically demanding pieces with titles like "suicide on an airplane". very worth the listen, the discord is stupendous!
