[ In a catalog of music rolls for the Hupfeld Phonoliszt-Violana,
[ Matthew noticed a song by Willy Rosen named "Eine schöne, weisse
[ Chrysantheme - Lied und Yale". He thought it could be a misprint
[ so he investigated using Google -- and found more like it!
On YouTube there is a clip of Willy Rosen's "Eine schöne, weisse
Chrysantheme." It is a very pleasant performance, and worth your
listening to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHqbNpZKrII
On both the sheet music and the record label shown in the clip at the
beginning, the foxtrot is characterized as a "Lied und Yale." Doing
a Google search on "Lied und Yale" brings up several other German tunes
also called a "Lied und Yale."
The term mystifies me. I know what a Lied is, but a Yale? Can any
German MMDers throw some light on this?
