I wish to correct something I wrote in post #30. I had conflated Alessios de Filippis with Elias Alessio. As far as I know they were not the same person. Elias Alessios (born in Greece according to LOC © logs & Ellis Island) but maybe it's just coincidence that the names blend together. I believe that Alessios de Filippis was born in Italy and just happened to record Alessios's waltz. Meanwhile, I'm trying to ascertain whether Carlo (1890-1966) was related to Alessios and just how.
Always double checking my work...will provide further clarification as I learn it. Thanks.
This YouTube recording below is identified as a work by Elias Alessios's "A Walk in the Forest" for Alessios Di Filippis' mandolin orchestra (you can find the sheet music in the miscellaneous folder in my Dropbox).
I don't know if I can give 100% trust but the person who uploaded this waltz... but there ya' go. Hmmmmmmm
