Paul Hindemith - Toccata für das mechanische Klavier

Original Compositions for Player Piano between 1915 and 1930. In this period composers discovered the superhuman possibilities of the Player Piano. Strawinsky, Hindemith, Toch, Antheil, Münch, Haass and Casella used this new medium, decades before Conlon Nancarrow discovered it again for his ingenious Studies for Player Piano. This clip was recorded by a finely restored Bösendorfer Ampico Grand. See and
