What the Newspaper Critics
N Saturday Evening, November Seventeenth, a con-
cert was given at Aeolian Hall which, in certain
aspects, was the most important in the history of
music. At this concert a Grand pianoforte, actuat-
ed by a current of electricity—played by a perforated music-
roll and untouched by human hands—performed Harold
Bailer's interpretation of the Saint Saens Concerto in G
Minor.

"It was a reproduction of Mr. Harold

ed it as he would a player of flesh and
blood."
The fact that this achievement was attained upon the con-
cert platform in conjunction with the Nrw York Symphony
Orchestra under the baton of Walter Damrosch, establishes
beyond doubt the musical standing of the Duo-Art Piano.
An imposing audience, comprising famous pianists, sing-
ers, musical critics and people socially and politically promi-
nent, listened to this extraordinary piano play the three move-
ments of the Saint Saens Concerto—heard the difficult and
complicated piano part played in perfect time and spirit with
the orchestra.
At the conclusion of the number, there was not one person

ance of what had occurred.

The Duo-Art Piano—the revolutionary inst
formally presented to the public under such imposing aus-
pices—has a mission of vital import to the world at large.
The incomparable art displayed in the playing of this instru-
ment, an art so true as to have won the admiration and sup-
port of many musical artists and educators of the highest dis-
tinction, is destined for the enjoyment of many rather than
few.
It is as the piano of intimate home environment that the
supreme value of the Duo-Art is to be realized. It is to bring
just such music as thrilled the audience at Aeolian Hall,
directly to the fireside, that this great invention was designed.

and instrument being perfect, while it
took no gnat stretch of imagination to
