I am unaware of this last composer :) (I do though remember from college that the last of Debussy’s 12 Etudes [1915] is ‘pour les accords’. I remember listening to those 12 works [about 40 minutes worth] much more than to Schoenberg’s piano music [also about 40 minutes worth].)

(Tom Johnson performed, barefoot, a wonderful hour-long program of his music – for 12 suspended bells – at the Terrace Theater of the Kennedy Center back in the mid-1980s, as part of Marta Istomin’s American Composer Portraits series – which also included LaMonte Young’s The Second Dream of the High-Tension Line Stepdown Transformer (from “The Four Dreams of China”) — performed by four muted trumpets rather than eight muted trumpets.)
