description Henry Cowell Overview
Henry Cowell (1897-1965) was an American composer, pianist, and music theorist associated with experimental modernism. He developed the string piano technique, in which a performer plucks, strums, or touches the strings inside the instrument, and he used tone clusters made by sounding adjacent notes together. These methods expanded the range of sounds available from the piano and challenged conventional ideas about rhythm and musical texture.
