From the end of the nineteenth century a national musical
consciousness gradually developed in the USA as composers began to
turn away from the European conventions on which their music had
hitherto been modelled. It was in this period of change that
experimentation was born. In this book, the composer and scholar
David Nicholls considers the most influential figures in the
development of American experimental music, including Charles Ives,
Charles Seeger, Ruth Crawford, Henry Cowell, and the young John
Cage. He analyses the music and ideas of this group, explaining the
compositional techniques invented and employed by them and the
historical and cultural context in which they emerged.
