@Fluffypopcicle I find some of this selection truly wonderful. I think repeated listening + the mechanical reproduction is the longevity interest killer. A recording of real performers, though 'fixed' has more to re-visit. (And comparing Stravinsky to anyone short of the very biggest of the big boys is a futile and meaningless exercise:-)
-
@Fluffypopcicle I agree with your assessment in part, but I find the melodies present in this particular study to be extremely pleasing to the ear.

I figured as much, but I really think this is pointless after listening to it once. I find with Nancarrow that once the "interesting" factor goes away it just sounds ridiculous. Stravinski could pull off stuff like dissonance and polytonalities and still make beautiful music, but I find that most of Nancarrow material is literally just experiments with generally annoying things. That's my opinion though, I'm not trying to convince anybody of anything here.

This is an exceptionally brilliant piece of music! Thanks for this wonderful 'survey' playlist! I hope more people learn of Nancarrow's music by way of it!

@Fluffypopcicle NO. Nancarrow 'wrote' it specifically for mechanical reproduction on a player piano. He wrote by hand punching the holes in the piano rolls! His simultaneous use of different tempi for various muscial elements was not a complete innovation, pre-dated by Charles Ives, but he certainly took that several steps further. Never intended to be played by one (or more than one) pianist. Contemporary composer John Adams has transcribed a few of the studies for an orchestral ensemble.

is this... seriously possible to play on the piano? Or is this just one of those things where you use a player piano to play what just isn't isn't possible?
