My original Ampico rolls of Schumann's "Carnaval" have the following
Tempo markings:

  Ampico 65733 Part 1. 95
  Ampico 65743 Part 2. 85
  Ampico 65753 Part 3. 90
  Ampico 65763 Part 4. 95

I happened to buy the Powell recut of Part 2 since my original was
damaged.  Powell's tempo for Part 2 is 70 even though the spacing
of the notes is virtually identical to the original.
