My all-time favorite Duo-Art roll is #6266, Chopin's Fantaisie
in F minor, Op. 49, played by Harold Bauer.  Some advice, however,
is appropriate.

The original roll, made from a 2:1 master, is probably the fattest
roll ever released by Aeolian.  It completely fills the largest size
spool (the equivalent Ampico recording is a 2-roll set).  This creates
a problem with most Duo-Art grand spoolboxes if the paper rewinds
loosely, with possible roll damage resulting.

Eventually, Aeolian realized that you simply can't "capture the soul
of the artist" using the 2:l mastering system, and switched to 3:1,
marginally acceptable.  Apparently the Fantaisie was never re-recorded
at 3:1 (bah!), but was re-mastered using 3:1 spacing, which resulted in
a considerably shorter roll to overcome the problem resulting from such
an extensive length of paper.  (At the slower recommended tempo of 65,
the length of performance is the same.)

However, the resulting original roll creates the ultimate repetition
test for the Duo-Art system.  At a little over three minutes into the
music, there appear two nine-note chords, each of which is required
to repeat six times in rapid succession.  Most restored Duo-Arts
can't handle this repetition, some of which is at "crash" intensity.
To make matters worse, I have never seen a recut of the roll where
this repetition wasn't read as bridging, eliminating it completely.

And then there is the problem of what to do about the lowest "C",
absent from _all_ Duo-Art rolls.  Oh, well, that's so low on the piano
that the editor can always substitute the adjacent C-sharp where the
substitution isn't too conspicuous to the trained ear...

Still, it's an "awesome" performance (and I use that much-overworked
word very sparingly), one highly recommended by me!

I could mention many additional rolls but lack the time today.
Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see what others recommend.
The initial inquiry should bring many responses.
