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

[ 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
