Diamond, David. (1915–2005). Signed Photograph. Black and white bust portrait of the American composer, seated at a table, boldly signed in green ink with his name alone. No date. 5.25 x 3.5 inches (13.2 x 8.8 cm). In fine condition.
"Diamond eschewed serial, electronic and aleatory procedures, and preferred not to sort his compositional techniques into periods. Many of his works employ tonal or modal languages that admit enharmonic relationships. Diamond insisted that he never wrote a 12-note piece. His music is always marked by a strong rhythmic drive and a frequent use of displaced rhythmic patterns. He was a master of orchestration, both in his use of particular instruments and in his creation of ensembles. Rich sonic palettes are often created using spare means. His meticulous craftsmanship and his musical sensibility have assured his position as a 20th-century Romantic classicist." Mary Wallace Davidson in Grove Music Online
