Did you know that The earliest born pianist ever to record on music roll was Carl Reinecke, who came into the world on 23 June 1824, three years before the death of Beethoven.

Carl Reinecke is a very underrated pianist and composer. Some of his compositions are very good and his piano roll recordings are pretty virtuosic.

This sounds too good for an acoustic recording - I think it's a modern recording of a Welte piano roll.

No matter what people say...this recording is a treasure made by the earliest-born pianist to have his playing preserved in any format. June 23, 1824 – March 10, 1910

I read that we didn't have any pianists born before 1840 playing .now this totally clear but not well played treasure shows up. The training is infinitesimally better these days. The amazing thing is there are no Hofmann's . Funny Rach wasn't much impressed with Cortot .I can't believe we have several recs of this man! The Mozart i'm afraid to hear but one generation must hear this. What will Mozart sound like when there are no more plants &we live on machine made planets?

one bar of this is worth an entire career of some modern pianists IMO
