"Contemporary composers, and at least a considerable number of them, explain
what system they used, in what way they arrived at something. I do not do
that. I think that the matter of the way by which one arrived at something
is, for the listeners, unimportant. What matters is the final result, that
is the work itself." -Grazyna Bacewicz, 1964

I'd bet it's Albert W. Ketelby.  I have seen this record in blue- I own
a black copy. Albany Indestructible # 3134  4 minute

Great Record !!  IMHO

Kurt,

Your comment brings to mind a cylinder that a collector friend showed
me
some years ago. It was fully flexible, robin's egg blue and had no
core, but
fit on the mandrel and played just fine. It was of Mendelssohn's
"Rondo
Capriccioso" - I can't recall if it had a number, but I think it had a
title
but no artist credit. From the playing we all guessed it as Xaver
Scharwenka, but of course that was just a wild guess among three people
who
are reasonably conversant with old piano recordings.

Ever run into a title like this, and encounter the name of a pianist?

This is probably 4 minute Indestructible 3266 by Walter Van Brunt.

I have found several Indestructible cylinders that are missing the
title 
rim. They sometimes crack and fall off, leaving a cylinder just as you

describe.
