From the Back Cover
'Harry Partch's pioneering theoretical investigations of tuning and his practical application of these investigations to instruments of his own construction show him to be a composer of remarkable and enduring individuality. Partch's perseverance without widespread support or recognition during most of his lifetime has always struck me as particularly courageous.'--Steve Reich
About the Author
Harry Partch (1901-1974) was an American composer, music theorist, and creator of musical instruments. He composed using scales of unequal intervals in just intonation, and was one of the first twentieth-century composers in the West to work systematically with microtonal scales.
