Brian Ferneyhough

Brian Ferneyhough is an English composer born in Coventry in 1943 who began his career in the late 1960s and is associated with contemporary classical music and the New Complexity movement. His work is characterised by extremely dense notation, intricate rhythmic and pitch structures and high technical demands on performers, and it is frequently discussed within late 20th- and early 21st-century avant-garde and academic composition contexts.
