Conlon Nancarrow: Study # 10 for Player Piano

It sounds joyously like a music box

A problematic blues work, originally in an ABA form of which Nancarrow later decided to delete the opening A section (Kyle Gann: Annotated List of Works)

The last of his compositions influenced throughout by jazz; a blues melody is heard over a chord series in the (let's say) left hand; despite its rhythmic complexity this piece, quietly maintained throughout, is one of Nancarrow's most melodious works; originally, a A-B-A form; the first part was rejected in the revised version valid today (Jürgen Hocker)
