Seek Möller Organ Rolls By Harold Gleason
By Tom Gleason

Hi!  A few years ago, through this website and thus many kind owners of
the Aeolian Duo-Art here, I was able to assemble recordings of all the
rolls my grandfather, Harold Gleason, recorded on the Aeolian Duo-Art.
Ref. http://www.mmdigest.com/Archives/Digests/200802/2008.02.01.02.html 

I just recently discovered that he also created rolls for the Möller
player organ of these pieces:

a. Joseph Bonnet: Ariel
b. T. Tertius Noble: Solemn Prelude
c. William Sterndale Bennett: Romance sans paroles
d. Percy Fletcher: Fountain Reverie
e. Howard Hansoon: Vermeland

I would love to obtain recordings of them if there are folks in
possession of the rolls and have the capability of recording them, or
if some recordings already exist.

I was also wondering if you had any good guidance as to where someone
may be selling the Aeolian Duo-Art or Möller rolls.  I have one Duo-Art
roll of my grandfather but we would love to have more in the family
archives.

These rolls provided the only recordings of him playing that we know of.

Thanks in advance,
Tom Gleason
