abstract: In addition to his many other works, Russian-American composer Leo Ornstein (1893-2002) contributed a substantial body of literature for cello and piano, including Sonata No. 1 (1915-1916), Sonata No. 2 (circa 1920), Composition No. 1 (date unknown), Two Pieces (date unknown), and Six Preludes (1930-1931). His cello music is an eclectic mix of twentieth-century Neoromantic and atonal styles. This study includes a recording of the complete works for cello and piano by Leo Ornstein and a description of the music that details the formal procedures and how the cello and piano relate to one another. The discussion offers extensive musical examples in support of the descriptions. The recording was completed at the Banff Centre for the Arts in Alberta, Canada (October 2009), with R. Nicolas Alvarez, cello, in collaboration with pianist Keith Kirchoff. Andre Shrimski produced and edited the recording. / Dissertation/Thesis / Six Preludes, Prelude III / Six Preludes, Prelude IV / Six Preludes, Prelude V / Six Preludes, Prelude VI / Composition No. 1 / Sonata No. 1, Mvt.1 / Sonata No. 1, Mvt.2 / Sonata No. 1, Mvt.3 / Sonata No. 1, Mvt. 4 / Sonata No. 2 / Two Pieces, No.1 / Two Pieces, No.2 / Six Preludes, Prelude I / Six Preludes, Prelude II / D.M.A. Music 2013
