When he heard these records reproduced for his final criticisms he put the Duo-Art to an unusually exacting test. For Leopold Godowsky is not merely a great artist but a great teacher as well, possessed of the broadest technical and theoretical knowledge of music. And he was listen- ing to his personal performances—deciding whether the Duo-Art reproductions were exact—were deserving of his approval. Quoting from an interview given after the test: “It is a truly remarkable experience,” said Mr. Godowsky, “to hear the Duo-Art mirror every essential quality of tone and ex- pression it would be inconceivable if I had not actually experienced this marvel of hearing myself play—if I had not recog: nized my touch, my characteristics, my art itself.” This wonderful instrument, the Duo-Art, gives you—in your own home—the fine sentiment of Granados, the brilliancy of Bauer, the appealing folk music of Grainger, to mention but a few of the great modern pianists who have given freely of their art to the Duo-Art. With this instrument you have at your command all the great music of the world marvelously performed, And then you possess in the Duo-Art two other instruments. It is a perfect Pianola—the finest of all player-pianos and plays any standard 88-note music roll, It is a fine pianoforte—on which artists have delighted to play—and its beautiful tone is in nowise impaired by the inclusion of the Duo-Art action.
