@24luvstepo24 I suppose that you don't realise you're actually commenting on the playing of the composer of the music himself, Edvard Grieg. That's him you hear playing the piano.

@egalitarianist You are of course referring to Edvard Grieg, aren't you? This is so sad. My apologies but I never heard this story said about the maestro. In most writings they say that he lived a happy old life in Norway and enjoying the hero status his country honored him with. I really felt sad after reading this. He wrote some of the most wonderful piano pieces in the world but I never thought he had an illness since youth. Even Liszt had high praises for his concerto. Sad.

@filoclito It's not a sound recording of 1906; it's a piano roll recording of 1906. That means that the actual sound recording could have been made a year ago, but it's still Grieg playing

@DeLorean4 early record companies and composers than the few times people got it right with other technologies.
