Makrokosmos, Volume II
Twelve fantasy pieces after the Zodiac

"Robert Miller, the lawyer-pianist who has dedicated his career to contemporary music, played the first of three concerts last night in Tully Hall. Last night's premiere was the second volume of George Crumb's Makrokosmos. In recent years, Mr. Crumb has forged to the front as one of the most important American composers. He marks, among others, the point where the stranglehold exerted by the post-serialists of the nineteen-fifties and sixties was broken ... After two decades of the acerbic, academic, intensely organized music we have had ... Makrokosmos II actually sounds easygoing, lyric, romantic."

Harold C. Schonberg, New York Times, 14 November 1974
