A NOTABLE PRESENTATION OF A NOTABLE INSTRUMENT 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." SUNDAY 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. NENV Yt/Itl: TIMES it was a reproduction of \Ir. Harold Ilautir's interpretation of Saint-Saens' (.1 Minor Concerto. r. Itanirosch - tat it as he \void,' a player of flesh and blood." 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." The DUO-ART PIANO NEW YORK HERALD "'Mr. Damrosch and his men accom. itanitid Mr. lianer's interpretation Just as if the soloist was present. The player and the accompanying body not along together with life-like accuracy." The terfection of the solo instru , merit's lieu:rouse and the facility of Dane rosch's lill•11 in accompaniment, tvon great a pplati.w. - EVENING NI,11I, "A distinguished audience, largely com- posed musicians, attended thus eta nt and showed mingled delight and anirae- ment at the work of the merchanism."

It wit4 a bit uncanny to we Mr. Dantrosch directing the orchestra to the movt.meat of keys untouched by visible fingers."
