Reproducing Piano Rolls of Scott Joplin Rags
By Scott Johnson
-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --
Edward Berlin suggested I write you. I'm wondering how many
reproducing piano rolls of Scott Joplin rags were made in his
lifetime (I only know of one, a Welte roll of "Maple leaf Rag").
The rollography in David Jasen's new book doesn't answer my question.
Jasen seems to treat the brand names 'Artrio-Angelus' and 'Angelus'
as interchangeable, though the former were reproducing rolls and
the latter weren't.
I'd appreciate any information about the subject you could give me.
Thank you for your time.
