Ampico Reproducing Piano
Leads Again
On Wednesday morning, November 14th, at the auditorium of the
John Wanamaker Store, New York, the Ampico Reproducing Piano
acted as soloist at a Symphony Concert given under the auspices of the
Wanamaker Stores, by the Rialto Symphony Orchestra — Hugo
Riesenfeld, Director.
The comparative concerts featured nation-wide during the 1916-17
musical season were pronounced the most convincing tests to which
an instrument could be put. Playing in direct contrast with the
interpretation of the artist who made the master record, the Ampico
proved again and again that its interpretation is indistinguishable from
that of the artist.
The First Time in America
Now for the first time in America the Ampico has acted as soloist
for a Symphony Orchestra Concert. Audience and critics alike were
amazed at the uncanny spectacle. The first movement of the Grieg
Concerto from a record previously played by Mile. Marguerite Volavy,
the distinguished Bohemian pianist, was featured to the accompaniment
of the orchestra. Director Riesenfeld accompanied the soloist with a
warmth and sympathy to be expected from a musician of his attain-
ments. He expressed himself as feeling that he was accompanying a
great artist in the flesh.
This is a use to which we had not expected to put the Ampico.
It demonstrates again the wonderful versatility of this remarkable
instrument.
The Ampico has again achieved heights of musical attain-
ment impossible to any other instrument.
