Recorded between 1905-1913 by means of the Welte-Mignon process: "Specially prepared rolls of paper, inserted ... into a Steinway grand piano, recorded the playing of famous pianists and composers with all the specific peculiarities of their interpretations." The selections on this recording were reproduced onto magnetic tape from the original Welte-Mignon roll recordings.
