'There is a remarkable force to all of Ornstein's music—a burst of energy a frenzy and a passion which are ever refreshing to the tired musical ear.'—George GershwinThis original anthology is the first single-volume edition of the works of American avant-garde composer Leo Ornstein (1893 2002). Characterized as a futurist and ultra-modernist Ornstein created daring dissonant works that excited both admiration and contempt. A steadfast follower of his own musical instincts the composer retired from his career as an internationally renowned pianist in the 1920s and continued to compose in obscurity for another half-century. Ornstein founded aPhiladelphia-based music school enjoyed a renaissance of popularity in the 1970s and completed his eighth and final piano sonata at the age of 97.These sixteen compositions span eight decades and demonstrate a remarkable diversity of styles from lyrical to atonal. Contents include Three Moods Impressions of the Thames Impressions of Chinatown A Long Remembered Sorrow A Morning in the Woods and other works. Aaron Copland declared a performance of Wild Men's Dance as the most controversial moment of his young life and as recently as 2002 The New York Times pronounced it 'a shocker.'
