By Jim Canavan Does anyone know if portions of Scott Joplin's opera "Treemonisha" have been put on piano rolls yet? The overture especially would make a great roll! Since the opera was "lost" for so many years, and not really performed as such until 1976 (when it was recorded by DG on record/CD), I'm sure there weren't any rolls made before this time. However, the full piano score _is_ available... Jim Canavan (CYBRFLASH@aol.com) (Message sent Wed 7 Feb 1996, 13:41:02 GMT, from time zone GMT-0500.)
