Wanda Landowska's music is very dear to me. Yes, she played on a Pleyel harpsichord built like an Abrams tank, & she took "romantic" liberties with tempo and phrasing. So what? Music is a living, changing thing - not a museum piece. Mme. Landowska's artistry & musicianship transcend time and history. Also, if there are only four clips left, something had to be added to fill the bits of music that don't have corresponding video. So, everybody take a nice deep breath, and calm down.

Please FIX this video and take the stupid comments out!!
You are retarded and a vain egoist to have even considered blocking out her majesty the way you did. Really disgusting. Who do you think you are? You think your Times New Roman is more important? WTF? Good god man, gather up some style. What you did is unforgiveable.
FIX IT!!
PS: It is not the only "extant" footage of her playing, but I guess you really don't give a flyin' fuck, do you?

If these clips represent the only extant footage of Wanda Landowska playing on the harpsichord, why is so much time taken up with title cards?! I want to see every second of footage!
