The most obvious example would be his "Three Quarter Tone Piano Pieces". :-p

In addition to the two answers above, there is also a very effective quarter-tone piano part in the second movement of Ives's Fourth Symphony. Very eerie!
Quarter-tone works give piano tuners nightmares!!

4th of July something that sounds like a slice of Americana is tremendous listening. Ives' track ranges from quite intense/non secular/philisophical to purely good exciting stuff. in my view, no person is acquainted with greater approximately Ives than J. Peter Burkholder. His books and articles are superb. in case you do pick to take heed to brotherly love Sonata...determine you examine the Essays earlier a Sonata. you may ought to take heed to the piece various cases earlier it starts off to make experience. i could recommend beginning with mvts. 2 and 3 first. 2 is a loopy scherzo/delusion, and 3 is divine. a million and four are purely greater durable to take heed to (particularly a million). The greater you realize approximately Ives and the strategies he became utilising, the greater you will savour this sonata. i think of the Cambridge series has a good (particularly concise) e book approximately this piece.
