Seek "The Rite of Spring" Piano Rolls
By Ben Roth

Greetings, I've heard that there's a 4-roll set of Stravinsky's
"Rite of Spring" on Aeolian Themodist Metrostyle. I'd love to have
that set. If you have it and don't want it any more please let me know.
If you have it and would lend it out for copying, please let me know.
Thank you.

Regards,
Ben Roth

 [
 [   "Before the first gramophone disc recordings of The Rite were
 [ issued in 1929, Stravinsky had helped to produce a pianola version
 [ of the work for the London branch of the Aeolian Company.
 [   "He also created a much more comprehensive arrangement for the
 [ Pleyela, manufactured by the French piano company Pleyel, with whom
 [ he signed two contracts in April and May 1921, under which many of
 [ his early works were reproduced on this medium.
 [   "The Pleyela version of The Rite of Spring was issued in 1921; the
 [ British pianolist Rex Lawson first recorded the work in this form
 [ in 1990."
