I A Wonderful Tribute tow.tiE Musical Perfection I
of the Duo Art Pianola Piano

-

Through This Instrument,

Harold Bauer,World-Famous Pianist, Though a Thousand Miles
Away, Played With the Detroit Symphony Orchestra
Tuesday Evening at Orchestra Hall
This event was one of the most notable and interesting . in Detroit's musical history.

Following a splendid rendering of Bizet's "L'Arlesienne," by the orchestra, Saint-Saens
"Concerto in G Minor" for Piano and Orchestra was played, the piano part being rendered
as recorded on Duo-Art rolls by I.Iarr)ld X. Bauer.

And, the playing was no less that of Bauer himself than if he had sat at the instru-
ment ill person.

"It duplicates my performance with re-
markable fidelity. • • • it is a great
instrument — a wonderful innovation.
Its value is almost incalculable.

" • • • Supposedly the time will come when
even this new marvel will be old; but certainly
there was a thrill last night when the invisible
hands fled up and down that keyboard, and the
spirit of Harold Bauer interpreted with subtle
inflection and brooding mood, the Saint-Sams
Concerto In C Minor."

It was a perfect rendering of a 5'.1.1: prisinglv beautiful concerto, and the use Of this in-
strument as soloist with the DetroV:symphonv, under the masterful baton of Gabrilowitsch,
surely attests the perfection supremacy ofthe Duo-Art Pianola Piano among all instru-
ments of the pianoforte tynr: .

The Duo-Ar
s also appeared as soloist with great orchestras in New York, Philadel-
phia, San Fra,pci i.sco an d w ashington, I). C.

co-ordination between orchestra and instrument
being perfect.

EVENING WORLD.

"Mr. Bauer was represented by the Duo-Art
Piano, a remarkable instrument which reflected
his playing to the minutest detail."

NEW YORK SUN.

"The Duo-Art record, made by Mr. Batter
himself, played the work with the orchestra
and with remarkable technical clarity, good
rhythmic accent and tine shading."

SUNDAY TELEGRAM.

"At the conclusion there could be no doubt of
the success. The reproduction of Mr. Batter's
work was as full of delightful nuance as if the
virtuoso himself was seated there."

YOUR OWN interpretation, as is possible through
other instrument. It provides the means to
widest choice of musical expression, placing in-
stantly at one's command all that subtle shading of
tone and infinite variation; of tempo that mark the
performance of the skilled pianist.

"The record provided a remarkable facsimile
of the playing of Mr. Bauer and richly merited
the recognition paid it by such a musical per-
sonage as Walter Damrosch."

WASHINGTON STAR.

" • • •

The Duo-Art delivered its portion of
the Concerto with beautiful resonance and ex-
quisite delicacy of instrument control beneath
the hands of a master. • • • Stokowski a bow
to the imaginary figure at the piano was in
strict accord with the outburst of applause that
followed."

WASHINGTON HERALD.
" • • • All the fire, power and impulse that

the artist is capable of feeling was reproduced
through the medium of this mechanically per

as to the importance of this perfect reproduc-
tion of the playing of the masters Is limitless.
What would we not give, for Instance, in this
generation to hear Liszt as though he were
with us today—or Chopin? And what will it
not mean to future generations to press a but-
ton and hear the artists who today are charm-
ing us?"

The keys raised and fell as the rhythmical
beauties of the number were unfolded, all the
beauty of nuances for which Bauer Is noted be-
ing displayed as effectively as though lie sat
bodily before the instrument. In the noble
passages wills orchestra, the work of the piano
stood out above the finished setting afforded by
Mr. Gabrilowitsch and his men with exactly
the clarity and refinement as would have been
had Mr. Bauer been present in person."

"The triumph of this new recording instru-
meta is hard to overestimate. Once the spec-
tacle of a vacant piano pealing forth the bril-
liant strains of the Concerto had passed, the
audience settled into rapt attention."

PHILADELPHIA EVENING

"'The touch of a vanished hand' is less elu-

preserved last evening in the Academy of Mu-

" • • • For it was his own edited and perfected
music-roll that gave every nuance of his indi-

one of the most curiously Interesting concerts
ever given by the Philadelphia Orchestra."

."Most important, I should say, was the prey
ence of the subtle qualities of touch wherein the
essence of Bauer's style are disclosed. This to
my ears, was the triumphant vindication. • • •
The performance was a Bauer performancit."

OAKLAND (CAL) TRIBUNE.

" • • • Indeed, I do not know what all, within
the superb instrument that encompassed it,
conspired yesterday afternoon with that roll of
paper, but I do know that essentially it was a
Bauer performance."

SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER.
" • • • The performance was one of superla-

tively brilliant technique, if one may be al-
lowed to compliment the Duo-Art as one would
an artist, and was remarkable both for its rec-
ord of achievement and its rich promise of what
may be accomplished In the way of storing per-
manent records of artistry."

" • • • It was in fact a symphony concert, but

with the Duo-Art Piano instead of a human
soloist. • • • The effect was very much as
though the cap of invisibility had been bor•
rowed from the Arabian Nights."

" • • • We heard Mr. Batter's rendition of
the Concerto, movement after movement, the
orchestra accompanying. Tone shading, con-
trasts of tempo and characteristic phrasing
were faithfully reproduced."

"I dare found the Duo-Art Piano
flexible and adequate in its powers. I
have been able to secure in my recorded
interpretations very complete represen-

perfectly and the orchestra accompaniment
could have been no better had Mr. Bauer been
seated at the Instrument with his fingers on the
keyboard. A spontaneous crash of applause
went up from the curiously elated audience.
