Unknown QRS Artecho Roll Played By Artur Schnabel

Julian Dyer suggests the unknown Artecho roll is a derivative from 
a Triphonola roll.  It is true that Schnabel recorded "Invitation to 
the Dance" for Hupfeld (also for Philipps Duca), but Melville Clark 
(who marketed the Artecho) had an arrangement with Welte, not Hupfeld,
as explained by David Bowers in his Encyclopaedia.
