Johanna Magdalena Beyer

Composer (1889-1944)

Johanna Magdalena Beyer was a major 1930's experimental composer who was closely associated with Henry Cowell, Percy Grainger and Ruth Crawford. Her work, however, has been almost completely overlooked: unpublished, unrecorded and unperformed. Frog Peak Music has prepared a number of works in annotated, recopied editions, called the Frog Peak/Johanna Beyer Project. The editing and recopying work has been contributed on a voluntary basis by composers interested in the project.

See a complete list of Beyer's scores.
