Urgent: Search for Schnabel piano roll transcription

[Martin Elste <elste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Berlin Museum of Musical Instruments will be presenting a recital of 
Artur Schnabel performing by means of Welte reproduction rolls on the newly 
restored Steinway-Welte on 9 September 2001 as part of the International 
Artur Schnabel Symposion by the State Institute for Music Research and the 
Akademie der Künste Berlin.

In this concert we would love to play the following Ampico roll played by 
Schnabel and transferred on LP Klavier: KS 134:

Johann Sebastian Bach, Italian Concerto F major BWV 971

(Ampico piano rolls nos. 62721, 62733, 62741)

Unfortunately we don't own this recording on the obscure Klavier label. Is 
there any institution or private collector who could send us a high quality 
transfer of this item? We will, of course, be paying all expenses (studio 
time, sound carrier - preferably CD-R, but DAT or cassette is also 
possible, packing, air mail postage etc.), but we should have the item here 
in Berlin by 5 September at latest. Please contact me as soon as possible!

Thanks to all who check their holdings if they can help us!
Yours sincerely,

Martin Elste
