Samuel Siegel (born 1875, Des Moines, Iowa — died January 14, 1948, Los Angeles, California) was an American mandolin virtuoso and composer who played mandolin on 29 records for Victor Records, including 9 pieces of his own composition and two that he arranged.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Samuel Siegel (instrumentalist : mandolin) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Samuel Siegel (composer) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Samuel Siegel (arranger) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rootsweb, Siegel-L-SamuelSamuel )〕 Siegel was the first mandolinist to record on Emile Berliner's phonograph disk-records.〔 He was labeled "America's Greatest Mandoline Virtuoso" and "The King of the Mandolin" in the May 1900 ''Banjo World''.〔 Siegel performed both in Vaudville, as well as in concert halls.〔 He had no formal training in music, but saw that the mandolin needed original music, rather than relying on the transcribed violin music.〔 His compositions and arrangements were well known in his day.〔 He was the author of ''Siegel's Special Mandolin Studies'', published by Jos. W Stern and Company, 1901, in which he covered left hand Pizzicato and harmonic duo style. ==Recording partners== Siegel recorded with Roy Butin in 1908 on four Victor records, the tunes: ''Southern Fantasy'', ''Estellita Waltz'', ''American Valor March'', and ''In Fairyland''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Roy Butin, Revealed! )〕 He recorded Edison Diamond Disk record ''Ragtime Echoes'' in 1918 with Marie Caveny, with her on ukulele, and also ''Dance'', ''Mouse Dance'', and ''Medley''.〔(Victor Records, Encyclopedic Discography of Victor Recordings, ''Miss M. Caveny (instrumentalist : ukulele)'' )〕〔(National Park Service, Thomas Edison National Historic Park, New Jersey, ''Popular Instrumental, Ragtime'' )〕 Marie and her husband James Frank Caveny lived with Siegel as lodgers in Chicago during the 1910 United State Census.〔United States Census, Year: 1910; Census Place: Chicago Ward 25, Cook, Illinois; Roll: T624_268; Page: 3A; Enumeration District: 1057; FHL microfilm: 1374281〕 They were performers or lecturers in the Lyceum movement.〔(The Lyceumite Art and Talent, ''Their Art Appeals to Eye and Ear, Why J.
