CCCXXXIII. NANCARROW, Conlon: Sonatina for Piano

CCCXXXIII. NANCARROW, Conlon (1912-1997)

Sonatina for Piano (1941)
1. Presto
2. Moderato
3. Allegro molto
Matthew Edwards, piano
[scrolling score]
(6:02)


Previously posted were three of the Player Piano Studies (XXXIV, CXXXVIII and CCCXXX), as well as the Ensemble Modern's transcription of #9 (CLXXVII).

Here is an early work that was actually written for a human being. The piece is so difficult, it has been recorded in a four-hand version approved by the composer.
