About This Item
First separate edition of Henry Cowell's composition "Maestoso" after publication in the "New Music" quarterly.
As per the biographical notes at the end of the composition: "Henry Cowell was born at Menlo Park, California in the year 1897. After having composed over one hundred works without instruction, he studied under Charles Seeger at the University of California, under R. Huntington Woodman at the Institute of Applied Music in New York, and later with a Guggenheim Fellowship under Prof. Erich Von Hornbostel at the University of Berlin. He has composed over seven hundred works for orchestra, chamber combinations, voice, and piano solo; and has been a pioneer in the use of a number of different sorts of new musical materials, although his style is eclectic, and has never been exclusively 'Modernistic' or 'Classical'. He founded New Music in 1927, and is now an editor of this periodical. He has worked toward the furthering of contemporary American and other composers through writing books and articles, forming publication and recording organizations, and organizing concerts...."
