Dance Orchestra Collection

Consisting of close to 300 titles, this collection of dance orchestra music parts likely reflects what might have been heard on KDKA radio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before live orchestras were replaced with recorded music. Established in 1920, KDKA describes itself as the first commercial radio station in the United States.

Titles published in Pittsburgh and/or composed by a known Pittsburgh composer are marked with an asterisk (*).
