about

The works on this recording constitute some of the most important piano music from Rudhyar’s first American period. This period, which lasted from 1918 to 1929, was musically among his most productive, and firmly established him as one of America’s most important modernists. Toward the beginning of this period Rudhyar composed a number of orchestral and vocal works, as well as chamber music and music for solo piano. Later on, he focused mainly on writing for solo piano. In an essay on his music written late in his life, Rudhyar stated that he considered the Four Pentagrams, the first eight Tetragrams, Paeans, and Granites to be his best known piano works. Of these works, the Pentagrams, Paeans, and Granites are presented here, along with a slightly later work, Prophetic Rite.
