Large-scaled

None of the above
Answer
Partch’s earliest compositions were small-scaled because they were meant to be performed by the composer himself on the instruments he had made, which were designed to be played by one person. Partch did not begin to compose large-scale works until he began to work with other musicians in the 1950s.
