Both authors -- noted experimental composer Henry Cowell and his wife, Sidney -- have SIGNED this copy in blue ink on the title page, over the printed versions of their names. Very scarce as signed copy. "Bay Area native Henry Cowell (1897-1965) was a relentless innovator and musical explorer. He started composing in his early teens, and by 16 he was studying with the University of California's music department. As a child growing up in the Bay Area, he was exposed to a range of musical influences. Early on, his work drew from a mix of family's Irish folk heritage and the Bay Area's Asian culture. He employed a wide range of sound materials and experimented with different compositional methods. His most significant contribution to American music was his development of tone clusters -- harmonies built upon diatonic seconds rather than thirds. His ritings and compositions made lasting impressions on a significant number of artists, including George Gershwin, John Cage, Stephen Scott, and Lou Harrison.". Signed by Authors. First Edition.
