Been listening to these songs for quite a while now - amazing songwriting. A mysterious, tragic tale, too.

On Spotify there is an album called “Connie’s Piano Songs” that purport to be through-composed (as in, pen to paper notated music) art songs. I’ve unsuccessfully tried to find more info about them and there don’t seem to be any scores are available. I’d be interested if anyone has any more information about them or has the scores. Part of me wonders if they are actually songs about Connnie Converse and not composed by her…

Fishman discusses this in his recently released book (which is highly recommended, although it left me a bit depressed.)

Basically, he got the music from her brother, and organized some singers and recorded it. There are no known recordings of Converse herself performing them.

tldr; Connie Converse wrote the music/lyrics, but “Connie’s Piano Songs” are performed by other artists.

Thanks, I see that there is more info in this article too. I mistakenly thought this post was an older article that I had already read about her.
