About Ruth Crawford Seeger
Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901 - 1953), born Ruth Porter Crawford, was a modernist composer. In the twenties and early thirties, Crawford Seeger wrote atonal works influenced by Alexander Scriabin. These works favored dissonance and post-tonal harmonies; they also utilized irregular rhythms and meters.

She was encouraged and guided by her teacher-then-husband Charles Seeger's dissonant counterpoint
