This is a short piece for piano; the third movement shows the influence of Bach on Nancarrow. The piece overall, apparently frustrating to the composer, begins to show his need to express more complexity via player piano.
In a review of the CD, Raymond Tuttle found the combination of Nancarrow and Antheil "lopsided" but is overall positive given both had written music for player piano, although those pieces were not included here.
