Enjoy this sprightly recording of this very popular instrumental,
which was featured for years in many early phonograph company catalogs.
Although the piccolo and bassoon players are not credited in the announcement,
the piccoloist is likely George Schweinfest as he recorded many piccolo solos for
Edison during this period.
The amusing sounds captured at the end of the performance seem
like that of a music stand being hit and sheet music flailing about –
Any other guesses?
