Duo-Art Demonstration Roll
By Ralph Schack
Jim Weisenborne asked about making up a test roll for the Duo-Art which would demonstrate the dynamics of the system.
The one we use is Duo-Art #S-3221, "Demonstration Roll, 1929" played by Robert Armbruster.
Contents:
Introduction;
Accompaniment in bass with theme in treble;
Trill with crescendo and diminuendo;
Cadenza with more rapid crescendo and sudden diminuendo;
Melody in the bass, accompaniment in the treble;
Sustaining pedal effect;
Pianissimo;
Fortissimo;
Rhythmical facility and rapid accenting.
Klavier recut it several years ago and it is very worthwhile watching for on the various roll auction lists.
