Rialto Ripples piano roll by the composer George Gershwin

[xfugio]

Just wondering what he's doing with his left hand?

@xfugio Sustaining (loud) pedal, which isn't automatic on these Pianolas.

The Ernie Kovacs televison show theme was based on this piece. Where would one go to purchase a copy?

[risingchads]

@PRR5406 This is a BluesTone recut from Rob DeLand, unfortunately not presently available. It must have been recut many times over the years, and your best bet would be to locate a secondhand copy.

@risingchads Thank you for the response. I realized that what I'm actually looking for is "Oriental Blues", by Eubie Blake. Essentially the same melody with variations, used by Ernie Kovacs.

@risingchads Would you be able to send me a slowed-down MP3 of this? I'd really like to make a dictation, and learn this particular version for myself.

Well done Julian!
