I am searching for two early Ampico piano rolls of compositions
by Jan Sibelius:
1. Romance, Op. 24 No. 9, in D flat, played by Howard Brockway,
Ampico 3977 or Ampico 56743, and
2. Valse Triste, Op. 44, played by Marguerite Volavy, Ampico 51675
The composer's great-granddaughter, Rosa Teppo, is a personal friend
and a superb pianist studying piano performance at the University of
North Texas. Does anyone have either of these rolls for purchase
so I could let her enjoy it on the Ampico? She plays a majority of
Sibelius' works and is quite accomplished. Finding these rolls would
be an absolute delight for her since she is one of the rare students
and performers who is excited beyond imagination with the reproducing
pianos and their music rolls. Please send an email to
