Billy Mayerl's 'Ace of Hearts' from the 'Four Aces' Suite.
An arranged Aeolian Themodist roll (No 30745).
Playing my Steck pedal-operated Pianola- with front panel removed. In addition to the mechanical noise the camera has picked up the sound of the paper roll - which is a little brittle at the start. It does sound a lot better in the flesh (and with the front panel ON!) but a great tune nevertheless.
One of the great masters of the piano. Superb music

Billy Mayerl gave the first performance in London of Rhapsody in Blue at the request of his friend George Gershwin. Does anyone know if a disc recording or pianola roll was made by by Billy Mayerl?
