What type of piano is that
-
We have the William Tell on a QRS roll but as you would bet it's only the 4th movement.

Thanks so much! When I was in college a hundred years ago I came across a player piano that hadn't worked for years so the owner sold it to me for $35. All it needed was new leather straps on the back of the bellows to create the vacuum. I got the piano working in short order and one of the rolls was the William Tell Overture--4 hands version. Let me tell you, when it got to around the 2 minute mark that piano was literally rocking!

This has always been my favorite part of the William Tell Overture. And I LOVE player pianos!!!! :-)

To think that CZIFFRA wrote a kicked up version in Eflat(this here in G), even 10times more unplayably difficult than this lovely one here and was able to play it too !! Who cut the roll?

I'll be glad when I can get my player working that well. I've rebuilt the bellows on the pedals, but now i detect leaks in the main chest. I keep collecting rolls, but i tend toward ragtime music and the Blues because I live in St. Louis.

I could if I had that piano roll, but I can't if I don't have it.

For anybody who is interested, the piano got tuned about 5 months ago already, but I only uploaded 1 video of about 10 that I still haven't uploaded because I still need to edit them. But the wait will be worth it. I can promise you that. XD

looks to be the liszt arrangement

Yup, it sure is. Speaking of liszt, I think I'll upload one of Liszt's most successful pieces, Rhapsody Hongroise No. 2. (the song that was used in one the episodes of Bugs Bunny)

No, it isn't Liszt's arrangement. liszt's arrangement is in E or your version is in C. You can hear a midi of liszt's arrangement in discoverynet . com
(sorry for my english)

The only reason I had it on C, is because when I would put it in E, the tracker bar would not line up with the holes on the paper correctly, and therefore, it wouldn't play.
