Over the Waves Waltz

[rajza00]

I love that roll!!! I'll have to order that one from QRS or ebay. Thanks for sharing!

It's rumored that QRS is out of business. Not true, look up their website. They are still going strong.

For the love of St. Cecelia have the piano tuned!! Cool roll though.  Thanks for posting. I love "Over the Waves" and the melancholy story of its composer.

did the pianist die or something at the end?

[German1170]

that's an awesome piano i wish i had a sick piano like that

Reading the comments, sometimes I wonder why some people bother with YouTube. I get it for the pleasure of the sounds. (If it wasen't for the vaccumn motor , we would not hear this piece), so shaddap and listen!

I dislike the Vacuum Cleaner Motor to drive the pnuematic motors. I posted a video response however I only have photos of my piano but the sounds is there..

I just noticed the ivories don't move while it's playing, that seems strange because my Starr foot pumper does.

The original title is 'Sobre las Olas' (Over the Waves), it was composed by Juventino Rosas (1868-1894) from Mexico.

Thanks for posting this very enjoyable piano roll.

@DRNEGOLICIS You are kidding right? All I can think is you like the piece, but can't stand the origin of the composer.

[DougNederland]

After a bit of research, I fear I have misled you all, it is NOT called Waves of the Danube, that is a similar piece, but written by Ivanici. Sorry about the error

[DougNederland]

This is also known as When you are in Love, and also Waves of the Danube. Whatever we call, it is excellent.

[DougNederland]

Absolutely fantastic, I could listen to it again and again - and probably will!

Yes, QRS in New York has never stopped producing rolls, they even make rolls for new songs every year, and bluestone makes nice recuts. I generally buy second hand rolls because I think the old ones have better arrangements often and also they are generally cheaper:-)They still make player pianos too, even electronic ones. Little out of the budget for most of us normal people though!

[Squarerig]

Question:Are piono rolls still being produced.This is a lovely piece.Thanks for the upload.Much appreciated.

[striderhiryu2]

great work of the great composer: juventino rosas.

[DeyaIV]

YES! Mexican don't know what they have until it is gone...to bad! I love Jubentino's music.

[silentbacchus]

Thanks for commenting! It's a Vocalstyle roll "hand-played instrumental" played by Osgood and Black.
