ABOUT CONLON'S WORK
Conlon Nancarrow was a pianist, a trumpet player, and a composer who lived and worked in Mexico City.
Nancarrow was one of the few composers who wrote music solely for the player piano.He produced richly textured compositions, often employing several different melodies and rhythms simultaneously.In the 1930s and early 1940s, he composed pieces for solo piano, chamber groupings, and orchestra.Out of frustration in trying to get his pieces played accurately, he turned to creating complex and precise music by hand punching player rolls.He composed numerous works for player piano, some of which took as long as one year to compose and hand punch.
BIOGRAPHY
Nancarrow’s series “Studies for Player Piano” reflects his early love of jazz, ragtime, and boogie-woogie and consists of over fifty individual studies composed over a span of forty years.A book entitled, The Music of Conlon Nancarrow, published by Kyle Gann in 1995, presents a study of his music.
Nancarrow studied at the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music (1929-32).He studied composition and counterpoint with Nicolas Slonimsky, Walter Piston, and Roger Sessions.

关于康龙的作品
康龙-南卡罗是一位钢琴家、小号手和作曲家，在墨西哥城生活和工作。
南卡罗是为数不多的只为钢琴演奏者写音乐的作曲家之一。 他创作的作品质地丰富，经常同时采用几种不同的旋律和节奏。 在20世纪30年代和40年代初，他为钢琴独奏、室内组合和管弦乐队创作了作品。 由于在试图使他的作品得到准确的演奏方面遇到挫折，他转而通过手打琴卷来创作复杂而精确的音乐。 他为演奏家钢琴创作了大量的作品，其中一些作品的创作和手工打孔耗时长达一年之久。
传记
南卡洛的 "演奏家钢琴研究 "系列反映了他早期对爵士乐、拉格泰姆和布吉-伍吉的热爱，包括50多首在四十年间创作的个人研究。 1995年，凯尔-甘恩出版了一本名为《康隆-南卡罗的音乐》的书，对他的音乐进行了研究。
南卡罗在辛辛那提学院音乐学院学习（1929-32）。 他与尼古拉斯-斯洛宁斯基、沃尔特-皮斯顿和罗杰-塞申斯一起学习作曲和对位法。
