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?

  • beautifully played!
