"Earle Brown" was an American composer who established his own formal and notational systems. Brown was the creator of Open Form/open form, a style of musical construction that has influenced many composers since—notably the downtown music/downtown New York scene of the 1980s (see John Zorn) and generations of younger composers.

Among his most famous works are December 1952, an entirely graphic score, and the open form pieces Available Forms I & II, Centering, and Cross Sections and Color Fields.

What is a good performance? It lies in the hands and head of a performer... the shortest way between two people is not a straight line.
