Recutting Duo-Art Grieg Concerto in A-minor

Years ago, when I got my Duo-Art up and running, I played all the
rolls I had and kept in a prominent spot the rolls I enjoyed most.
At the top was (and still is) the Grieg Piano Concerto.  I have good
original copies of all three rolls, so I don't really need re-cuts.
However, I would suggest that anyone with a Duo-Art that does not have
these rolls, should join the list of buyers of these rolls from Julian.

From my perspective, this piece utilizes the full range of the
Duo-Art's capability, producing the most awesome music I have ever
heard from a reproducing piano.  If you have not heard it, find a way
to do so, and buy the rolls -- you will not be disappointed!
