"To hear the Duo-Art replacing
Harold llauer as tololst with a great
orchestra under a great conductor,
and to bo ablo to listen to this perfect
vet human performance with real de
light was my prlvl'CEe at Tuesday's.
cm cert. Tho Duo-Art lias disclosed
limitless
Last Tuesday night the Philadelphia Orchestra, under
the masterful leadership of Leopold Stokowski, formally
presented a new art to the music-loving public of this
city an art that brings into the home the playing of the
world's greatest pianists. .
A distinguished audience, comprising famous pianists,
music critics and persons socially prominent, heard
Harold Bauer's interpretation of Saint-Saens' G Minor
Concerto played in three movements by a grand piano-
forte untouched by human hands. Actuated only
by an electric current, this extraordinary piano per
formed the three movements of the Saint-Saens con
certo, difficult and complicated, requiring the highest
degree of technical skill, in perfect time to the orchestra.
Bauer himself sat in the audience and listened to his own
playing.
In November a similar performance was given at a
concert of the New York Symphony Orchestra, under
the baton of Walter Damrosch. And last Tuesday
night the achievement was repeated on the stage of
the Academy of Music in conjunction with the Phila
delphia Orchestra.
Thus for the second time the supremacy of the Duo
Art Pianola-Piano was established beyond the shadow
-of a doubt.
But these achievements on the concert stage are only
incidental to the real mission of the Duo-Art Pianola
Piano, which brings into the home just such incom
parable music as thrilled the audience at the Academy.
Scores of the greatest virtuosj of the piano have played
records of the finest works in their repertoires and
the popular musicians who write and play the current
light music have also made many delightful Duo-Art
rolls. Thus the personalities and the art of the great
pianists are made an intimate part of our home life
the. masters themselves come to our own fireside and
play whatever we desire whenever we wish.
Technically the Duo-Art is a genuine Pianola-Piano of
an advanced design in which foot pedaling is replaced
by electric power.
PRESS COMMENTS

Kxactly as If air. llauer were sealed

oichestra through tho elaborate ac

nnd Ihivvicm manipulation of the keys
by .Mr. llauer. The tr.-nal results also

It would hnve been a thousand times
easier to believe than to deny that
something of the Interpreter's own
spirit had passed Into the record, .
It was Impossible at last night's hear

sible with a living Interpreter, to say
just vvhere mechanism ended and where
Inspiration began.
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGKI
"The tbmch of a vanished hand"
. . was preserved last evening In the
Academy of Music In a remarkable
performance by the Duo-Art Piano.
. . The absence of any human musi
cian at the Instrument, playing in per
fect time with 3Ir. Stokowskl'B orches
tra, was so startling that full appraise
ment of the artistic mlraqle waa some,
what handicapped. . . The .house
broke Into- prolonged and fervent ap
plause. i
THE NOItTlf AMEH1CA.V
The triumphs of this new recording
Instrument are hard to overestimate
. . Once the Uncanny spectacle of.
s vacant piano pealing forth the bril
liant strains of the concerto had
passed, the audience settled into rapt
attention, nnd at the conclusion of the
number gave every sign of apprecia
tion. PHILADELPHIA HECC-HD
It was a unique occasion
There waa something weird and un
