New Meliora Music Rolls
By Tim Baxter

Dear MMDers:  Just wanted to let you know of the availability of two
more original rolls: "The Ragtime Dance" by Joplin, and "Valse - Op.
64, No. 1 ('Minute Waltz')" by Chopin.  I'm aware there are many
versions of the latter produced, but (1) I'm unaware of any currently
available and (2) I hadn't run across one which met with my
satisfaction.

Sound files for these new selection (with a slightly faster tempo on
"Ragtime Dance" than I would like, to get more on the file) can be
heard at:

Sorry to intrude upon the usual discussions . . .
