Review
"Microtonality is an essential part of music, though European theories of harmony and tonality have nothing to say about it. Harry Partch's Genesis of a Music is therefore invaluable, dealing as it does in detail with the composer's inventions of microtonal musical instruments and his compositional method using a 43-tone scale."
--John Cage
From the Back Cover
'Harry Partch's pioneering theoretical investigations of tuning and his practical application of these investigations to instruments of his own construction show him to be a composer of remarkable and enduring individuality. Partch's perseverance without widespread support or recognition during most of his lifetime has always struck me as particularly courageous.'--Steve Reich
