George Crumb’s “Makrokosmos, Volume I” for solo amplified piano (1972) is a landmark of 20th-Century piano literature. Taking its inspiration from Bela Bartok’s “Mikrokosmos”, and Claude Debussy’s Preludes, as well as “the darker side of Chopin” and “the child-like fantasy of early Schumann”, it is a masterwork that not only utilizes the full dynamic and expressive range of the piano played from the keyboard; Crumb masterfully creates an entirely new coloristic and tonal palette by making use of extended, inside-the-piano techniques. In addition, the pianist must chant, shout, sing, whistle, and moan like a ghost.
