and a nice development on the trilly pianoroll sound is the
roaring-hollywood-sounding-flamenco piano in the various versions of
"Valencia" ( http://members.shaw.ca/paud122/batch23.htm )
it must have been a big hit in the clubs at the time:
smythe-midi/Valencia (1926) 29064S.mid

It is the Pasodoble Valencia (1926), by José Padilla (1889-1960). Was recorded
with English lyrics by Paul Whiteman and his orchestra. Famous singers like
tenor Alfredo Kraus have recorded versions, too. Look for it in Youtube for
instance.
