Joplin's "Treemonisha" on Rolls?
By Jim Canavan

Does anyone know if portions of Scott Joplin's opera "Treemonisha" have been put on piano rolls yet? The overture especially would make a great roll!

Since the opera was "lost" for so many years, and not really performed as such until 1976 (when it was recorded by DG on record/CD), I'm sure there weren't any rolls made before this time. However, the full piano score _is_ available...
