In all the roll auctions I've participated in, and the few catalogs I
get, I have yet to find a source of 88-note rolls that have a selection
of classical music. QRS has some still in print, but unless you go to
the reproducing brands, there doesn't seem to be much out there. I
realize that publishing Chopin on a standard roll elicits the proverbial
saying, "a silk purse from a sow's ear", but with conscientious
expression from the player, you should be able to produce good music,
even if the purse is actually polyester.
Can anyone supply a source where some can be purchased: retail, auction,
or otherwise?
