Seek "The Rite of Spring" Piano Rolls
By John McClelland

Greetings all,  Ben Roth recently asked [200409 MMD] about the
Themodist Metrostyle configuration of Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring".
I know of the 8-roll set done by the composer for Pleyela in France
(roll numbers 8429 through 8437).  There are 3 Stravinsky rolls
played for Welte, 1 for Duca and 2 for Ampico (the Pleyela is the
only issue played by the composer).

I suggest Ben contact some of the Themodist folks in England to see if
they might know of any other offerings of this piece, in what format.

Cheers,

John McClelland
