Composer Conlon Nancarrow of Texarkana (Miller County) wrote music with as many as twelve tempos to be played at once. This 1998 print by artist Bradford Graves captures his frustration that no one could play his compositions. Eventually discovering that the complex rhythms could be cut on a player piano roll, he composed more than fifty Studies for Player Piano.
