George Crumb
George Crumb (1929–2022) was an American composer known for his highly imaginative and expressive music. His works often incorporated unusual instrumental techniques, extended performance gestures, and evocative soundscapes that pushed the boundaries of traditional classical music. Crumb gained widespread recognition for pieces like *Black Angels* (1970), a haunting work for amplified string quartet reflecting on the Vietnam War, and *Makrokosmos*, a series of piano compositions that explore innovative sonic possibilities, including inside-the-piano techniques. His music frequently drew inspiration from nature, mysticism, and world cultures, resulting in compositions that were both deeply atmospheric and emotionally powerful. A celebrated figure in contemporary music, Crumb's legacy continues to influence composers and performers alike.
