ACCOMPANIMENT ROLLS
New Q R S List Provides Excellent Piano
Music for Musicians Who Wish to Play
Their Own Accompaniments.
The new bulletin of accompaniment rolls presents
an attractive array of music under proper headings
and is filled with suggestions for musicians of all
kinds.
In the bulletin are accompaniments for the 'cello,
Columbia records, violin, violin and voice, Victor
records, songs, and for two pianos. These piano
accompaniments will afford much pleasure to musi-
cians who play other instruments or sing and wish
to play their accompaniment themselves. The sheet
music can be obtained at any sheet music dealer's.
Thirty-five rolls provide accompaniments for songs,
and the following list shows the excellent variety of
the selections:
