As to Comparison Recitals
I
N the several years that the Ampico Reproducing Piano
has been before the public, we have given numerous
Comparison Recitals so that the perfection of the Ampico
might be tested and proven in actual performance. These
recitals have been given from New York to the Coast, and
as far South as New Orleans, in collaboration with such
artists and orchestras as
LEOPOLD GODOWSKY
GEORGE COPELAND
LEO ORNSTEIN
RICHARD BIJHLIG MARGUERITE VOLAVY VICTOR WITTGENSTEIN
CLARENCE ADLER
METROPOLITAN OPERA ORCHESTRA
RIALTO-RIVOLI ORCHESTRA
We have called these demonstrations "Comparison Recitals" advisedly, as
in every recital the audience has had the opportunity to make a direct
comparison between the playing of the artist and the Ampico's reproduction.
The artist has played his selection personally and, immediately afterward,
the Ampico has repeated the same number for comparison. The Ampico
is the only instrument that has given these direct comparison recitals, an
"acid test/' proof positive of perfect reproduction.
The Direct Comparison is the Only Genuine Test
Other concerts have been given in which carefully rehearsed orchestras
have played with a piano operated by a music roll, or have played before
an audience when the artist was absent. These, while interesting demon-
strations of the progress of mechanical efficiency, are not comparisons. The
only true comparison is that in which the artist's playing may be directly
compared with the reproduction.
