Seek 65-note Classical Music Rolls
By Philip Carli

I would like to find 65-note overture, waltz, intermezzo and march rolls
(especially Arthur Pryor marches). I do need help.

Offbeat overtures would be preferable (though I don't yet have Rossini's
"Barber of Seville") from composers like Auber, Donizetti, Thomas,
Nicolai (would very much like "Merry Wives of Windsor"), Bellini
("Norma", for instance), Adam, Lortzing, Balfe ("The Bohemian Girl"
and "Der Mulatte"), Vincent Wallace ("Maritana", "Lurline"), Suppe (but
_no_ "Poet and Peasant"), other Rossini (though I do have "William Tell"
in a rotten Electra and "Semiramide" in an excellent Perfection), etc.
Some composers you may have never even heard of.

I'm also looking for concert waltzes (_except_ John T. Hall's celebrated
"Wedding of the Winds"; does anyone here know or care that Hall was a
convicted felon?), any of the Strausses, Lehar ("Count of Luxembourg"
usually goes under "Luxembourg Waltzes"), Gung'l, Ziehrer, Metra,
Lumbye, especially _Waldteufel_ (other than "Estudiantina" or multiple
copies of "The Skaters"), others.

Intermezzos like Friml's "A Garden Matinee", John W. Bratton ("Laces &
Graces", "Spangles" -- in fact, _any_ Bratton), etc.

"March and two-step" rolls of all kinds, but especially by Arthur Pryor
(actually, any composition by Pryor -- he was quite prolific).

Orchestral rolls, too -- tone poems, symphonic movements -- all fit
within my purview.

I would be, as always very grateful.

Philip Carli
