DESCRIPTION:
Nancarrow (October 27, 1912 – August 10, 1997) is best remembered for his studies for player piano, being one of the first composers to use auto-playing musical instruments, realising their potential to play far beyond human performance ability. He lived most of his life in relative isolation and did not become widely known until the 1980s.
