Has anyone either heard or seen a score for Colon Nancarrow's Trio No. 1 for clarinet, basson and piano. I haven't had any luck with a quick web search, but it seems like people on this board know everything. It is probably pretty strange and difficult, but I am always on the lookout for new and interesting stuff.

Oooh - I can't help, but I'll be eagerly awaiting any responses. I love Nancarrow. Hopefully someone has a lead!

This piece has been performed (and I believe recorded) by the Trio Neos from Mexico City. Maybe a searchon Trio Neos might turn up some info.

It's published by Sonic Art Editions and can be found on the web at:

It's a great piece, about 10 minutes long. Not so difficult individually but a challenge to put together. You'll need a great pianist as well!
Hope it helps,
Michael

Thanks, I knew that people here would have an answer. A great pianist won't be hard to find, but I'll have to look for a great clarinetist.

I've read that Nancarrow composed exclusively for the player piano, which could produce the complex cross-rhythms and extreme virtuosity that were, at least at the time, beyond human players.
Does anyone know whether the trio is a transcription, or written originally for clarinet, bassoon and piano?

I think that this is a very early work written before his experiments with player pianos.

Trio No. 1 for clarinet, bassoon, and piano (1942)
It is an early work (1942) and apparently predates his Rhythm Studies for Player piano which he started "writing" in the late 1940s.
His earliest work was:
Sarabande and Scherzo for oboe, bassoon, and piano (1930)
