THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW

Another Famous Pianist
Records Exclusively
for the

DUO-ART

IGNACE
FRIEDMAN
O
NE more distinguished name has been
added to the impressive list of artists who
make records exclusively for the Duo-Art
—that of Ignace Friedman, the great Polish
pianist, one of the leading musical figures of the
world today.
Born in Poland, the birthplace of so many
great pianists, Friedman is recognized throughout
Europe as one of that small group who have
achieved pre-eminence in pianistic art.
Counting it a privilege to have his master-
playing given such faultless reproduction as in
the Duo-Art performances of Paderewski, Hof-
mann, Busoni, Bauer, Cortot, Ganz, Grainger
and the other noted musicians thus represented,
Friedman's exclusive contract with The Aeolian
Company originated in London at the English
Branch and there his initial recordings were made.
During his present tour of the United States—
an epoch in the musical history of the country—
the eminent pianist is making some representative
recordings while in New York and these will
shortly be available to Duo-Art owners.

Gentlemen:
It is impossible to clothe in suitable words my
profound astonishment and high admiration for
the wonderful performance of the Duo-Art.
Taken artistically, historically and pedagogi-
cally, this instrument is of the greatest value and
interest; and in its perfect reproduction it is
beyond comparison. To realise this, the instru-
ment must and should be heard.
Cordially yours,
The Duo-Art Reproducing Piano
Three Great Instruments in One
Reproduces the playing of great
pianists with such absolute fidelity
that the reproduction is not to be
distinguished from the original
performance.
II. Is an instrument upon which any-
one without musical skill can play
practically all piano music and
play it well—for it is the original
Pianola—providing a wohderful
technique for your self-expression.
III. The Duo-Art is also a pianoforte
of the highest excellence—obtain-
able in the Steinway, Steck,
Wheelock, Stroud and celebrated
Weber Pianos, Grands and Up-
rights.
