What the Newspaper Critics
said of this event:
igth.
NEW YORK AMERICAN
"It must be confessed that Mr. Bauer
himself might have been sitting at the
keyboard, so extraordinarily faithful to
the original—so photographically correct,
:me might say—Were ec , .ry shade of ex-
pression. every uuauce and accent in the
reproduct ion.
"A large audience, made up of men and
women distinguished in the world 0f
music, watched the proceedings with
amazement."

TELEGitAm
"The piano part was played by the UP-
`Well itauda of Harold Bauer on a Ifflo-
Art Piano. The effect was uncanny. The
music was played Mu every gradation
of Mr. lianer's art.
"At t h e concision there could he uu
doubt of the success of the experiment.
The reproduction of Mr. Ilauer's work
was as lull Of delightful nuance as if the
virtuoso himself was sealed there. -
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
Rauer's interpretation of the Saint Saens Concerto in G
Minor.
Mr. Harold Bauer, at the moment presenting a concert pro-
gram in Chicago, a thousand mass away, had exhibited his
highest art as literally as though Ice sat in person at the key-
board.
His extraordinary genius transcribed upon a music-roll in
the fullness of both its technique and its spirit was a present
living actuality to every listener.
The Significance of This Wondericul Event
Remarkable as was this achievement—hoN vever unique in
the history of music—its significance affects a field infinitely
broader than the concert stage.
ni . .
The Duo-Art Piano—the revolutionary inst .u. " ;t thus
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 Dun-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.
The fact that this achievement was attained upon the con-
cert platform in conjunction with the New 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
in that great body of people but was startled with the signific-
ance of what had occurred.
NEW YORK TRIBUNE
"It was really a remarkable perform-
ti, the coordination between Orchestra
and instrument beinc perfect, while it
took no great stretch of imagination to
visualize Mr. Hauer himself at the key ,
board."
