Conlon Nancarrow The expatriate American experimentalist composer Conlon Nancarrow is increasingly recognized as having one of the most innovative musical minds of this century. His music, almost all written for player piano, is the most rhythmically complex ever written, couched in intricate contrapuntal systems using up to twelve different tempos at the same time. Yet despite its complexity, Nancarrow's music drew its early influence from the jazz pianism of Art Tatum and Earl Hines and from the rhythms of Indian music; Nancarrow's whirlwinds of notes are joyously physical in their energy. Composed in almost complete isolation from 1940, this music has achieved international fame only in the last few years. Born in 1912, the son of the mayor of Texarkana, Nancarrow fought in the Lincoln Brigade, then fled America to Mexico City to avoid being hounded for his former Communist affiliations. The author travelled to Mexico City to research Nancarrow's music and to discuss it with him. He analyses sixty-five works, virtually the composer's complete output, and includes a biographical chapter containing much information never before published.

He became a Mexican citizen in 1955. Nancarrow is best remembered for the pieces he wrote for the player piano . He was one of the first composers to use musical instruments as mechanical machines, making them play far beyond human performance ability. He lived most of his life in relative isolation, not becoming widely known until the 1980s.

CONLON NANCARROW: PERSONALITY and POLYPHONY by Tom Rodwell (August 1999) Conlon Nancarrow, (1912-1997) was born in Texarkana, studied composition from an early age, (with Slonimsky, Sessions, and Piston privately in Boston) and played jazz trumpet in local bar bands. He joined the Lincoln Brigade and fought Franco's fascists in 1930's Spain, also becoming a member of the Communist Party. Upon his return to the USA, he resumed composition, and associated with other new radicals in the New York scene, including John Cage and life-long friend Elliot Carter. Nancarrow's political leanings gradually attracted the interest of the state, and he was refused a passport upon application in 1940. Nancarrow moved to Mexico City, home until his death of heart failure at age eighty four. Early performances of his highly complex work were failures, often due to incompetent musicians, and his attempts to relaunch his compositional career ground to a halt in the (understandably) underfunded and ill-equipped Mexican contemporary music scene of the day. Frustrated by years of indifference and incompetence, Nancarrow withdrew from 'normal' musical circles, and, inspired by the writings of Henry Cowell, ordered an Ampico Reproducing Piano and the required hole-punching equipment for the pianola rolls. The player piano became his sole musical outlet, and he wrote over 50 'Studies' exclusively for the mechanical instruments until a sudden explosion of commissions in the 1980's and 1990's saw live musicians once again tackle his formidably polyrhythmic works.

"One of the most fascinating chapters in the history of the piano of the 20th century were Conlon Nancarrow's studies for player piano. After American-born Nancarrow returned from the Spanish Civil War, fighting the fascists in the thirties, he emigrated to Mexico and began to compose for the already out-of-style player piano. Tempos of 200 beats per second are not unusual, or chords made up of dozens of notes, all impossible for a human to play but as a result of his innovative use of player piano rolls he could make the impossible possible. The instrument used was Nancarrow's own Bösendorfer Ampico grand piano." Artist: NANCARROW, CONLON

9. Conlon Nancarrow Biography from Other Minds. http://www.otherminds.org/shtml/Nancarrow.shtml

Born in Texarkana, Arkansas in 1912, Nancarrow was active in his early years as a trumpeter, playing jazz and other types of popular music. He attended the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music from 1929-32, and later studied composition and counterpoint in Boston with Nicolas Slonimsky, Walter Piston, and Roger Sessions (1933-36). He values most his work with Sessions: "The only formal studies I did that were important were the studies I had in strict counterpoint with Roger Sessions. That was the only formal training I ever had. And they were rigid! I'd do this strict counterpoint exercise, and then I'd take a piece of my music and say to him, 'What do you think of this?' 'Very interesting; where's your counterpoint exercise?'" Nancarrow also cites Bach and Stravinsky as seminal influences. In 1937 Nancarrow enlisted in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade to fight against Franco in the Spanish Civil War. On his return to the United States in 1939 he became involved in the New York new music scene, contributing several reviews to Modern Music and associating with other composers such as Elliot Carter and Aaron Copland. Nancarrow was a dedicated socialist, which made him politically unacceptable in the United States. This was brought plainly home when he applied for a passport and was denied. Angry at such treatment, he moved to Mexico City in the early 1940s, becoming a Mexican citizen in 1956. He died there in 1997.

Education: Studied at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, 1929-32. Composer Conlon Nancarrow produced a body of work that is among the most challenging in twentieth-century music. He composed work for the player piano, an instrument that was already old-fashioned when he took it up in 1947. It took nearly half a century for Studies for Player Piano or their composerto achieve general recognition among musicians or the public. In 1982, Nancarrow was not mentioned in the Biographical Dictionary of American Composers Independent wrote: "He took a predominantly entertainment medium ... as the vehicle for the most far-reaching rhythmic explorations in the entire history of music." Talking Music Nancarrow was a rebellious type from an early age. He avoided school and argued with his father that he could give himself a better education at home. Being shipped off to military school as a teen apparently did not change his feelings. His self-education planted the seeds of a budding political radicalism. From the age of ten, he used his allowance to secretly mail order the

DIE VERDECKTEN SPUREN TONALEN DENKENS Beobachtungen und Entdeckungen bei den harmonischen Strategien der Studies von Conlon Nancarrow zurück "Ich tue, was ich tue, in meiner eigenen kleinen Nische. Es ist eine begrenzte Ecke, aber ich denke, ich habe sie gut erforscht." (Conlon Nancarrow) I (Prolog) Als ich Mitte der 80er Jahre die Musik von Conlon Nancarrow kennenlernte, ist es mir ergangen wie vielen anderen meiner Komponisten-Kollegen: ich war überwältigt von den schier unglaublichen Klangtexturen der „Studies" für das Player-Piano, die auf ungeheuer faszinierende Art und Weise die scheinbar unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten metrischer Komplexitäten ausloten und die dafür ein Instrument nutzen, das seine eigentliche Blütezeit längst hinter sich hatte. Als reproduzierendes Instrument und Musikmaschine ein Vorläufer von Radio und Schallplatte kannte ich das selbstspielende Klavier nur aus dem Museum und wußte von seinem Einsatz im legendären Skandalstück der 20er Jahre, dem „Ballet mécanique" von George Antheil. Wie aber hier die genuinen Möglichkeiten dieses Instrumentes nicht für die Reproduktion einer Interpretation (wofür das Pianola - wie das selbstspielende Klavier auch genannt wurde - ja ursprünglich gedacht war), sondern produktiv zur Verwirklichung allein kompositorischer Visionen eingesetzt wurde, das überraschte mich aufs Eindringlichste und es ließ die Musikwelt aufhorchen; ein Komponist, der zuvor nur in einem kleinen Insider-Kreis bekannt war, rückte damals nachhaltig in das Bewußtsein einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit.
