Album Description

The first pianola, or "player piano," was constructed by Edwin S. Votey in a workshop at his home in Detroit in the spring and summer of 1895. Within a few years, the mechanism of the pianola was also built into normal pianos, called pianola pianos. Besides playing works from the standard piano repertoire, pianolas may be used for music unlimited by the restrictions of the human hand. Well over one hundred composers have written or arranged music especially for the pianola over the years, including Stravinsky, Hindemith, Milhaud, Percy Grainger and Herbert Howells. Rex Lawson is the world's only professional pianola performer, known not only for his masterful playing but also for his brilliant arrangements. All are world premiere pianola recordings arranged by Rex Lawson (and Stravinsky) for pianola.
