Description: DUO-ART MEDCRAFT ROLL. CHOPIN'S. ETUDE Op. 25, No. 9. P/B IGNACY PADEREWSKI CHOPIN'S. ETUDE Op. 25, No. 9 in G flat PLAYED BY IGNACY JAN PADEREWSKIIgnacy Jan Paderewski (1860 – 29 June 1941) was a Polish pianist, composer and politician who was a spokesman for Polish independence. In 1919, he was the nation's prime minister and foreign minister during which he signed the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I.[1] A favorite of concert audiences around the world, his musical fame opened access to diplomacy and the media, as possibly did his status as a freemason,[2] and charitable work of his second wife, Helena Paderewska. During World War I, Paderewski advocated an independent Poland, including by touring the United States, where he met with President Woodrow Wilson, who came to support the creation of an independent Poland in his Fourteen Points at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, which led to the Treaty of Versailles.[3] Shortly after his resignations from office, Paderewski resumed his concert career to recoup his finances and rarely visited the politically chaotic Poland thereafter, the last time being in 1924.[4] DA-6097 This hand-played roll is in good condition and plays well.

This quality Duo-Art roll was produced by Med Craft in London, UK MED-CRAFT DUO-ART PIANO ROLLSThe development of their perforator cost the Medcrafts a great deal of time, money, and effort over a period of some fifteen years. They were spurred into action because others told them they would never manage to build such a complex device, and because at the time the player piano world wanted copies of Duo-Art reproducing piano rolls. Harry therefore set about designing a machine that would read original Duo-Art rolls and simultaneously perforate new copies.A visit to the Medcrafts was not to be undertaken lightly. Since Sylvia and Harry had both retired long since, they had no need to observe office hours, and so their poor guests often left for home at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, dreading the start of work the next day. The Medcrafts were free to get up around noon, and so worked through the night, which was the secret of their breath-taking achievements. Their enthusiasm and brightness were an inspiration to a whole generation of player piano enthusiasts.I was one of many to visit the Sylvia and Harry Medcraft to purchase Duo-Art rolls in the 1980’s.
