Seek "The Bellman" by Franz von Suppe
By Robbie Rhodes

Mr. Bengt Jonshult, of Gustavsberg, Sweden, is writing a book
about composer Franz von Suppé and his 3-act comic opera of 1887,
"Bellman" (also "The Bellman").  Apparently there are few early phono
recordings of the music from this opera and so Bengt is searching
also for possible performances on music rolls and orchestrions.

A mention of a potpourri (medley) of songs from "Bellman" is found
in the list of 46-note Aeolian rolls compiled by Kevin McElhone,
at http://mmd.foxtail.com/MMMedia/46nAeolianList.html :

  3730 Bellman, The. Potpourri. Suppe lh

Does anyone have this music roll?
