Well, this depends on whether it was a cylinder or disc recording. They DID have both 2-minute and 4-minute cylinders back then. If this is a 2-minute cylinder, he might have had to play it faster to make it fit, but a 4-minute cylinder would give him time to stretch out. Discs are another story again. Ask a phonograph or record collector about this topic, they would know more.

disk, cylinder... is it so important? we have a great chance to listen to GRIEG!

[JackRance1910]

@achelgeson93 No it's a disc, in the catalogues and a disk. Read up...

[JackRance1910]

@KawhackitaRag Of course it is not a cylinder. It is a G&T commercial issue...

Thanks for uploading this!

This is not a cylinder, it is recorded for the Gramophone & Typewriter Company. Who only made discs.

(You can hear from the rythm of the surface noise that this is not a cylinder, a cylinder rotates with 160 rpm, and the surface noise sounds very rytmic)

This recording probably was a 4 minute cylinder, but may have been squeezed into 2 minutes to make it faster.
