Seek "Hexameron" played by Arthur Friedheim
By Cade Gunter

Hello there! I was recently scrolling through the internet and stumbled
upon a Rolla Artis video which featured the brilliant Arthur Friedheim
playing Hexameron, which was absolutely breathtaking! If anyone could
please provide to me a midi file of this legendary performance, I'd be
eternally grateful! Many thanks and happy days to you all!
