Outsider music: classics of American classical music (47) - George Crumb - Makrokosmos I (1972) Crumb - Makrokosmos I, Twelve Fantasy-Pieces after the Zodiac [Audio + Score] Without a doubt, one of the most brilliant composers of the second half of the twentieth century. A Pulitzer Prize winner in the late '60s and later fundamental works for modern music, such as this Makrokosmos, for amplified piano, a highly significant piece for modern piano. A little curiosity: one of his small pieces is also included in the soundtrack of The Exorcist.
