The piece is known by many names: Lohengrin, Act II Scene 4 opening;
Bridal Procession to the Cathedral; Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral;
Elsas brautzug zum Münster; Zug zum Münster; Procession to the Minster;
Minster March

It seems like the player roll, or the perforator master roll, folded
over and shifted over a portion of the roll by one perforator channel.
This would cause the upper and lower rows of holes to swap functions.

A _really_ long perforation is a likely place to find the paper
folded over.  Listen to the performance and locate the key change from
E-natural back to E-flat, which occurs at about 53% elapsed time.  In
the performances below (Ref. 1 & 2) this happens at about time 3:11,
when a pedal E-flat is sustained for 23 seconds; at Tempo 60 this is
at least 27 inches of paper!

Sheet music for Ref. 2. may be downloaded at Ref. 3.
