About this title

Synopsis

Partch explains the philosophy of composition that underlies the forty-three tone works and instruments he has created

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
