I just received a Play-Rite recut of Duo-Art 70299, "Promenade; An
Old Castle" played Serge Prokofieff. Does anyone have the only other
Duo-Art Pictures at an Exhibition roll: 65910 No. 4 "Cattle" & No. 5
"Ballet of Unhatched Chicks" that they are willing to part with?
What I really wonder is why no one ever recorded the whole suite, as it
was originally composed for piano? I would love to hear it on my piano!
One website indicated there are Welte rolls 2165 & 2166, but it doesn't
say which movements are recorded.
