Seek Welte-Mignon Roll 2952 "Der Liebe Augustin"
By Robbie Rhodes
MMDer Richard Cardwell seeks Welte-Mignon T-100 Red roll
no. 2952, selections from the operetta "Der Liebe Augustin"
(The Princess Caprice) by Leo Fall, played by Ernst Sommer,
issued circa 1913.
The roll is one of the biggest T-100 rolls issued (maybe
overflowing the spool) and plays for more than 20 minutes.
The complete piano score (97 pages) of "Der Liebe Augustin" is
published at https://imslp.org/wiki/Der_liebe_Augustin_(Fall%2C_Leo)
Richard's roll partially disintegrated during rewinding, with a few
feet of paper damaged beyond repair, leaving two playable portions
intact. He hopes to buy or borrow another copy so that a recut roll
can be made. Write to his email: rac1811@hotmail.com.geentroep
