Verdalle: “Bagatelle” Harp Solo by Rita Villa 1910


Recommended Posts

Here is an unusual record that is a Harp solo. Originally recorded as a Wax Amberol in 1910, I believe this version is from about 1920 on a Blue Amberol. Described as for the Mexican audience, it is a harp solo by a French composer. I am not sure why it would be Mexican other than the performer might be Mexican based on her name. I haven't found anything about her in my research. See the description in YouTube for a bit more information.

I suspect your theory on her nationality is the correct one.
