This original anthology is the first single-volume edition of the works of American avant-garde composer Leo Ornstein. 1893â“2002.

Ornstein founded a Philadelphia-based music school, enjoyed a renaissance of popularity in the 1970s, and completed his eighth and final piano sonata at the age of 97.
