Michael Finnissy (born 17 March 1946) is an English composer and pianist. His music is characterised by the range of extremes often found in his work; opposing binary structures are found commonly, often seen as juxtaposing textures, register and tempi. Many of Finnissy's compositions are statements, or reflections, on topics of personal significance, as can be seen in his works English Country-Tunes, and The History of Photography in Sound, among others.
