Gentlemen r- Having followed the invitation of the Aeolian Company of New York to play a number of my compositions for the records of the "Du.o-A'rt" I am now informed that you represent this wonderful inst-ruihent in this city. You are to be congratulated upon being thus closely connected with what I regard as the greatest achievement in that line. When my own records were played for meVI was positively amazed at the absolute fidelity with which the "Duo-Art" reproduced not only the general bearing of the composition I had played, but even the tone quality peculiar to my touch, the pedaling, the shadings and--what struck me as almost uncanny--also the numberless delicate little personal traits, which, I am told, characterize my playing.
