Classical Piano Rolls
By Dan Wilson
Jill Miller posts the following needs for a friend. The 1914 Aeolian roll catalog prompts the remarks on the right:- Schumann:- No Impromptus are shown for Schumann, but "Dedication" is the translation of his song title "Widmung" of which this Liszt transcription was issued: (London nos.) Widmung T83416 However: SCHUBERT, FRANZ 1797-1828
1. Impromptu No 19 op.3 (Op.3 not in catalog, probably songs) 2. Dedication (not Mastert'ch) see above
4 Impromptus Op.90 3. Impromptu No 3 op. 90 No.3 G major, andante TL21637 4. Impromptu No 2 op.90 No.2 E flat major, allegro TL20226
Schubert:- Impromptu G Flat No 3 op.90 see above (So much Schubert has been discovered since piano-roll times that the Opus system isn't referred to much nowadays)
Chopin:- 1. Waltz op.69 No 2 (posthumous, composed 1835) TL20377 2. Waltz E Minor No 14 Chopin pieces weren't numbered on rolls except by Op no. This is almost certainly Valse, E minor, (posthumous, composed 1829) TL21050
