PPG50 Souvenir Commemorative Music Rolls
By Adam G. Ramet

To commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Player Piano Group two
piano rolls are being issued for a limited period.

The first is Leopold Godowsky's concert transcription of Schubert's
"Moments Musicaux" D.780 (Op.94), No.3 in F minor.  The roll is
metronomic with Themodist coding.  There is also an extra little
surprise lurking at the end of the roll!

Here is a YouTube clip of Evgeny Kissin playing the piece; so you can
get an idea of it if you've never heard it:

As stated, the roll is metronomic; so you are free to make you own
player piano performance, as you desire.

The second roll is my own florid ragtime arrangement of Scott Joplin's
rather elegant "Peacherine Rag."

The commemorative copies, with special souvenir leaders, etc., are 
available for a while longer at GBP £11 each, plus shipping, direct
from Julian Dyer at http://www.pianorolls.co.uk
