August 14 - Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji (The Musical Birthday Series - (The Musical Birthday Series)

Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji (14 August 1892 – 15 October 1988) was a composer whose extremely difficult and complex scores have a cult following of devoted pianists and listeners.




Opus clavicembalisticum

Sorabji, eccentric and mystical
In matters mundane and artistical,
Wrote scores so exotic
They verged on narcotic,
And perhaps just a touch alchemistical.
