Edward Toner Cone (May 4, 1917 – October 23, 2004) was an American composer, music theorist, pianist, and philanthropist. Cone was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. He studied composition under Roger Sessions at Princeton University, receiving his bachelor's in 1939 (Latin salutatorian and the first Princeton student to submit a musical composition as his senior thesis). Cone and Milton Babbitt were the first to earn graduate degrees in musical composition from Princeton (MFA, 1942). He studied piano with Karl Ulrich Schnabel and Edward Steuermann. During the Second World War Cone served first in the army (as a pianist) and later in the Office of Strategic Services. Beginning in 1946 he taught at Princeton. He was the co-editor of the journal ''Perspectives of New Music'' between 1965 and 1969. Cone, known for his contributions to music criticism and analysis, also composed a significant body of music. His scholarly work addressed musical form and aesthetics, particularly questions of rhythm and musical phrasing. He died in Princeton, New Jersey, aged 87. Cone's students include Michael Dellaira, Hobart Earle, Alan Fletcher, Robert Greenberg, John Heiss, David Lewin, Gilbert Levine, Mathilde McKinney, Robert P. Morgan, Mario Pelusi, Malcolm Peyton, Harold Powers, Victor Rosenbaum, John Solum, Beth Wiemann, and Edgar Warren Williams. ==Instrumental works== ;ORCHESTRA *''Elegy'' (1953). *''Music for Strings'' (1964). *''An Overture for the War (Prelude to Victory)'' (1942). *''Symphony'' (1953). *''Variations for Orchestra'' (1968). ;SOLO INSTRUMENT & ORCHESTRA *''Cadenzas'' (1979) violin/oboe/string orchestra. *''Concerto for Violin and Small Orchestra'' (1959) violin/orchestra. *''Nocturne and Rondo for Orchestra and Piano'' (1957) piano/orchestra. ;SMALL ENSEMBLE (3–14 players) *''Capriccio for String Quartet'' (1981) 2 violins/viola/cello. *''Clarinet Quintet'' (1941) clarinet/2 violins/viola/cello. *''Divertimento for Woodwinds'' (1940–46) flute/oboe/English horn/2 clarinets/ bassoon. *''Fanfare'' (1948) 6 trumpets/3 horns/3 trombones/2 tubas. *''Funeral Stanzas'' (1965) flute/oboe/clarinet/horn/bassoon. *''Music for a Film'' (1951) clarinet/2 violins/viola/cello. *''Ostinato, Cadenza and Finale'' (1990) viola/cello/piano. *''Quartet for Strings and Piano'' (1983) violin/viola/cello/piano. *''Quintet for Piano and Strings'' (1960) 2 violins/viola/cello/piano. *''Serenade'' (1975) flute/violin/viola/cello. *''String Quartet (#1)'' (1939) 2 violins/viola/cello. *''String Quartet (#2)'' (1949) 2 violins/viola/cello. *''String Sextet'' (1966) 2 violins/2 violas/2 cellos. *''String Trio'' (1973) violin/viola/cello.
