From Studio One. F-in the last concert of the current season, Rex Lawson plays and introduces music for the player-piano, an instrument which automatically plays music recorded for it on specially perforated paper roll. This machine can perform feats of great virtuosity; it can also play with expression.
Rex Lawson demonstrates the instrument with music composed for it by Stravinsky, Nancarrow and Stanhope; arrangments by Stravinsky and Bax of their own pieces; and music by Handel, Chopin, Debussy and Rachmaninov.
8.15 Put Another Nickel In
Investigating musical slot-machines, which were a common sight and sound in places of entertainment until they were displaced by the jukebox.
