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.

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.

    About the Background Image

    Conlon Nancarrow, 1990
    EVER HEARD OF THE COMPOSER CONLON NANCARROW? Probably not. His isn't exactly a household name. But Nancarrow - who died in August, 1997 - inspired a generation of composers. He wrote music that was incredibly complex - so complex, in fact, that human beings simply couldn't play it. And because performers couldn't play what Nancarrow was writing, he began creating music expressly for an instrument that requires no human hand. It's an instrument that seems to fit better in pizza parlors and shoot-'em-up saloons in old Westerns than in serious classical music: the player piano. Audio Sampler

    Conlon Nancarrow
    The unique characteristic of most of Nancarrow's compositions is that most of them were notated by perforating player-piano rolls to mark the notes and rhythms and can be performed only by activating such piano rolls. This method of composition gave him total freedom in conjuring up the most complex contrapuntal, harmonic, and rhythmic combinations that no human pianist or number of human pianists could possibly perform. The method of composing itself was extremely laborious. A bar containing a few dozen notes might require an hour to stamp out on the piano roll. Although he lived in obscurity for most of his life, his works appreciated by only a few cognoscenti, wider recognition finally came in the 1980s. His works began appear on programs of new music throughout the world, and, most significantly, in 1982, he was awarded the MacArthur Foundation's "genius grant" of $300,000, allowing him to continue his work without concern for finances. He died in Mexico City in 1997, after battling a number of ailments for several years. The item on display here is one of his Player Piano Etudes Created 11/22/00. Comments and questions to

    This is the beginning of a web page devoted to composer Conlon Nancarrow (1912 - 1997). He was born and raised in Texarkana, Arkansas and went on to be one of the most respected composers of "modern" art music of the 20th century. He focused nearly all of his musical energy on writing very rhythmically complex music for the player piano. These photos were taken by Janet Greeson while she and her husband were in Mexico City in 1984 when we spent a day interviewing Mr. Nancarrow at his pleasant home in a residential section of the city. I've also included some excerpts from the interview.
    These are audio clips from our six hour long interview with Conlon Nancarrow in 1984. Feel free to email me if you want more access to some of the interview or the 50 odd photos we took: jgreeson@uark.edu Nancarrow discussing his Rhythmic Study No. 1 (mp3 file - 224k) Nancarrow discussing his Rhythmic Study No. 1 (Real Audio - 78k) Nancarrow discusses one of his favorite Rhythmic Studies Nancarrow discusses one of his favorite Studies (Real Audio - 80k)
    This is a nice photo of Nancarrow at his piano roll hole punching machine with James Greeson (me) behind him. Nancarrow hand punched every note in his long and complex compositions himself. This was an arduous process which often took as long as a year to complete.

Though bedridden for the previous year and a half, he remained conscious to the end, if able to converse only in monosyllabic answers. The morning of the day he died, he seemed to rally, and was strong enough to walk with support. The music world mourns his passing. 1912: Samuel Conlon Nancarrow born October 27 in Texarkana, Arkansas 1925: Nancarrow's father, to help protect local business interests, runs for mayor of Texarkana and wins 1930: Studying at Cincinnati College Conservatory, Nancarrow hears the Cincinnati Orchestra play Le Sacre du Printemps ; confirms his desire to become a composer; Nancarrow's father dies 1932: Marries his first wife, Helen Rigby, a singer and contrabass player 1934: Moves to Boston, where he studies with Roger Sessions, Walter Piston, Nicolas Slonimsky; here he also (according to Helen Rigby) meets Schoenberg, who has fled to Boston following the Nazi takeover; Nancarrow joins the Communist Party 1936: Works his way to Europe by playing jazz trumpet on a ship - visits London, Paris, and Germany

    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.
