Lee, piano Dennis Lee Johnson (November 19, 1938 – December 20, 2018)was a mathematician and minimal composer, who is credited as having composed one of the first truly minimal compositions, November, which was written for solo piano in 1959 and later revised. The creation of November was inspired by Johnson’s UCLA college friend La Monte Young’s Trio for Strings, written in 1958. November is a pensive piano piece that runs for nearly six hours and predates all other known minimalist works in its use of additive process and diatonic tonality
