If I can figure out how to upload the file, I will be doing so with an 
emulation from a late 1930s piano roll "Selections from Porgy and Bess". 
This is one of the last rolls produced by the Aeolian American Corporation 
before closing shop due to the combined effects of the depression and the 
competition with the phonograph.

I think it is one of the best piano  roll performances ever recorded and am 
not alone in this opinion. On the Duo-Art piano it is virtually perfect, 
the culmination of years of editing experience on top of a fine 
performance. I do not have a Disklavier to try it on so I am especially 
interested in hearing what the group members think. I have listened to the 
emulation on my Roland synth and it is very good.
