In the sheet music (a copy of which I have in my collection) the
whole selection may be played from tunes 1 through 55 and end there
or, alternately, one may soldier on through the complete 106 tunes.
Tunes 105 & 106 are played together with Zampa paying in the treble over
the bass melody to the tune of God Save the King. In the very last few
bars there is also a 107th tune sneaked in which is "Ask a Policeman".
I have seen a copy of this roll with a factory-made paper label stuck
to the top of the box with the titles. More usually for pieces of
this type a slip of paper with the titles was often inserted into the
box though more often than not these have been lost over the years.
The piece was copyrighted in 1915 and published by Aschberg Hopwood
& Crew Ltd.
The Artistyle roll Larry Norman has would have been made from a UK
Aeolian master roll originally. The piece itself is technically a
"musical switch" (see my earlier MMD bit on Musical Switches a few
years back for more on these).
Yours musically
