Can you help me identify the melodies of this 19th century music-box?
Hi! I bought this music box at an auction in Reims (51100, France). Unfortunately, it doesn't have a tune sheet. This music box has 8 tunes (as you can hear in the video). only recognized one: "The Blue Danube," the famous Strauss Waltz, which was a huge hit at the time. This certainly moves the dating to after 1867. By closely examining the internal mechanism, I found the serial number "17519" and the program number "50" stamped on the governor block. Given these industrial markings, the classic configuration with dual internal levers on the right, and the overall style, the dating can be narrowed down precisely to the decade 1878-1884. It is very likely a high-quality Swiss movement manufactured for the French market. If you recognize any other tunes, please post them in the comments and I'll check! Thanks to anyone who wants to try. 0:00: N.1? 2:50: N.2 - Lucia di Lammermoor: "La pietade in suo favore" - Gaetano Donizetti (1835) 4:18: N.3? 5:50 : N.4 - "The Blue Danube Waltz" (Op. 314) - Johann Strauss (1867) [Standalone orchestral waltz] 7:25 : N.5 - "The Last Rose of Summer" - Thomas Moore (1805) [Originally a poem, later featured in Friedrich von Flotow's opera "Martha" in 1847] 8:57: N.6? 10:39: N.7 - "Soldiers' Chorus" (Faust) - Charles Gounod (1859) 12:25: N.8?
