Avant-garde Music Rolls
By Gordon Rumson

Greetings,  I've enjoyed reading the list and I have a question I would
like to pose to the list, if it were deemed appropriate.  I'd appreciate
your suggestion.

I am currently researching the music of Conlon Nancarrow and I wish to
know if anyone has complied a list of other composers who have used the
player piano for advanced (avant-garde) compositions.  For example, Percy
Grainger wrote such a piece.  So did Hindemith, I believe.

Would this be a suitable question or has it already been covered and I
have just missed it?  Many thanks in advance.

Best wishes,
