I recognize this waltz... this is "Espana Waltz" by Waldteufel... who really merely rearranged/adapted themes from Emmanuel Charbrier's "Espana", an orchestral rhapsody. Very nice sounding organ, too!
Yes, I was with the camera! There was much to see at this festival and many of my friends had organs there. This year I am bringing my organ to the event!
The organ is operated by "keys", like in a piano. But in a mechanical organ, the keys are like large metal fingers; when a hole in the cardboard book passes above such a 'finger', the key slips into the hole and this allows air to pass to the pipes.
