A CRS (Contemporary Recording Studios) document bringing together piano music by Henry Cowell, Lawrence Dillon, Martin Rokeach, and Peter Mennin. Cowell's Five Piano Pieces - likely drawn from the extended body of piano work he produced across six decades - provide the historical anchor; the other composers represent later generations working in the American concert tradition. A document of the continuing effort to build and sustain a serious American piano repertoire.
