Kaikhosru Sorabji, born in 1892 in Chingford, Essex, was an enigmatic and prolific English composer, pianist, and critic, renowned for his vast and technically demanding musical output. With a career spanning over seven decades, Sorabji's compositions range from delicate nocturnes to monumental works that can last several hours, such as his famous Opus Clavicembalisticum. His extensive piano repertoire includes seven symphonies for solo piano, four toccatas, and the monumental 100 Transcendental Studies. Sorabji's unique background, with a Parsi father and an English mother, coupled with his homosexuality, contributed to his sense of alienation and reclusive nature. Despite his seclusion, Sorabji's innovative and challenging compositions have left an indelible mark on the musical world, making him one of the most significant composers of the 20th century.
