Certainly play some notable classic rolls on good instruments, but don't forget that there were some really terrific popular rolls made for the reproducers -- include them as examples of writing for player piano.
As well, include some *recent* numbers on pumper players. There are some terrific rolls being produced and it would be a real eye-opener for any audience to hear rolls cut by people still alive.
