DIAMOND FLUSH - QRS 30122

QRS - 30122 Player Piano Roll - Written by Edmond P. Braham in 1905. Arranged by G. H. Reeves Edmund Braham (October 8, 1860 - November 1, 1921) was a pianist, composer, and publisher active in the United States after 1895. As a concert performer Braham specialized in improvisation, building entire concerts from themes suggested by the audience.His creative facility carried over to composition; he numbered his pieces, and ten months before his death he had reached op. 480. Most were incidental piano pieces-marches, waltzes, two-steps-and a fair number appeared on piano rolls, some of which Braham himself recorded. In arrangements for band or orchestra many works had a second life; “The Avenger,” a march, was recorded by Arthur Pryor’s band, for example. Two songs from 1917 were especially successful, receiving multiple recordings: the 1917 Liberty Loan campaign song “Do Your Little ‘Bitty-Bit’ (Right Now!),” and a ballad, “To You, Dear, To You.” (Sorry about the pic of the roll. It was put on by someone with the old type of tape, and it was difficult to get a decent photo of the box).
