Composer Henry Cowell
By David Lewis

Does anyone know if composer Henry Cowell ever made piano rolls?

Dave Lewis

 [ The book "Biographical Dictionary of Musicians" (Garden City Publ.
 [ Co., N.Y.) says of Cowell: "His compositions early attracted
 [ attention because of use of 'tone-clusters,' groups of notes which
 [ might be performed on the piano keyboard with forearm or fist."
