Author: Thanks. That allows me to research the roll. It could be any one of four different Welte performances. The first is roll #0094, recorded by Eugenie Adam-Benard in 1905. The next is roll #1163, recorded by Helena Morsztyn, in 1907, at the tender age of 12 if the biographical information is correct. The third (most likely candidate) is roll # 0569, recorded by Frederick Lamond in 1909. The last, roll #2925, recorded by Susanne Godenne in 1926.

HI
That's the Etude in Db, Un Sospiro, by Liszt.

Please help me identify the classical piece in this video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5u1c6pr2tuwnpet/1926%20Stieff%20%2830798%29%20Welte.3gp?dl=0
I believe it is a "nocturne" style composition, perhaps by Liszt or Chopin. It is being played on a 1926 Stieff concert grand piano through its Welte licensee reproducing mechanism being triggered by a MIDI-like translation of an original perforated paper roll rather than by the roll itself, which the piano is still capable of playing.

How to insert music:
Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.
How to post an audio recording:
If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:
- Record your audio here.
- You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
- copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]
How to mark a thread as solved:
If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
