Seek "Napoleon's Last Charge"
By Tim Baxter

Dear MMDers:  My mother-in-law just purchased a Fischer Ampico A.  Her
brother came by to listen, and recollected that when they were all
younger, he recalls hearing a roll of "Napoleon's Last Charge", likely
one of those late 19th, early 20th, century bombastic "epic" pieces.
(In this genre, "Ben Hur's Chariot Race" comes to mind).

I think the piece is composed by Edwin Ellis, arranged by E.T. Paull.
Anyone have a roll of this out that they'd loan for scanning?

Thanks,

Tim Baxter
