Nancarrow Piano Rolls from Wolfgang Heisig
By Glenn Amer

Hello everyone,  I thought you might like to know that recuts
of Conlon Nancarrow rolls are available from Wolfgang Heisig at
http://heisigrollen.de/ 

Regards,
Glenn Amer

 [ They're new rolls, not recuts.  Wolfgang wrote in 991213 MMDigest:
 [ "The rolls are not copies from other rolls but are newly drawn and
 [ punched on the basis of music scores and/or existing rolls and tapes."
 [ He explains at the web page, http://heisigrollen.de/nancarrow.html :
 [
 [   "The Special Edition Nancarrow, initiated in 1995, pursues the goal
 [ of making available all of Nancarrow's player piano compositions,
 [ in the form of reconstructed rolls for Ampico A or 88-note Pianola /
 [ Phonola, in the highest quality possible, based on [the composer's]
 [ scores, roll copies, recordings, MIDI files and punching-scores.
 [   "The Studies #1-#22 are already fully restored.  For their generous
 [ support of this project, I would like to thank: Helena Bugallo, Gerd
 [ Flick, Kyle Gann, Jochen Hagedorn, Jürgen Hocker, Thomas Jansen, Tom
 [ Johnson, Rex Lawson, Otfrid Nies, James Poke, Trimpin, Carlos Sandoval,
 [ Sacher Foundation, Schott Publisher."
 [
 [ I suspect that, since Nancarrow's death, his estate is not granting
 [ license to make copies of his original piano rolls, thus new rolls
 [ must be perforated.  -- Robbie
