Cowell was mostly self-taught and developed a unique musical language, often blending folk melodies, dissonant counterpoint, unconventional orchestration, and themes of Irish paganism. He was an early proponent and innovator of many modernist compositional techniques and sensibilities, many for the piano, including the string piano, prepared piano, tone clusters, and graphic notation. ''The Tides of Manaunaun'', originally a theatrical prelude, is the best-known and most widely-performed of Cowell's tone cluster pieces for piano. Provided by Wikipedia
