Ampico produced a roll series called "Tunes for Two", consisting of
three rolls of 4-hand piano duet arrangements -- the Ampico plays
"two hands" and a human plays the other two hands. Each roll has four
selections.
There are 3 rolls in the series: 66961H, 66971H and 66981H. I have
the third roll 66981H and the original sheet music. (I also have one
other roll but no music; I can't get at the roll at the moment for the
number).
The series was published by Carl Fischer, Inc., as catalog numbers
P1573, P1574 and P1575. Does anybody have the sheet music for the
first and second rolls? How about the rolls? I would be interested
in duplicating and making all three available.
The rolls should be relatively easy to find. Finding the printed
piano music -- the other two hands of the four -- is the more
challenging part.
Thanks,
Tim Tomaselli
