The Metrostyle Pianola . . WHEN you own a Metrostyle Pianola you begin just where a great artiste begins after he has spent years in acquiring a technique equal to the performance of good music, and the only difference therefore between your playing and, say, Paderewski’s is one of expression. Before the invention of the Metrostyle a composer had no means of showing how he intended his work to be interpreted other than by rough notes printed on the sheet-music. These only gave an appropriate idea of the correct rendering, and were quite inadequate to show what the composer really meant. But now the Metrostyle gives a permanent record of Paderewski’s interpretations, as well as those of many other famous artistes, which remain for all time at the disposal of Pianola owners in the form of Metrostyle music-rolls. These authoritative renderings are shown by a red line, which represents the artiste’s playing, and faithfully records even the slightest and most subtle variations of tempo and dynamic effects. Every Metrostyle roll is signed by the artiste who has marked it, certifying that the red line correctly gives the interpretation. By following this line with the Metrostyle pointer, these interpretations are faithfully reproduced. There is nothing else even remotely resembling the Metrostyle, and for this reason alone no other piano-player can be compared with it for true musical value. This valuable instrument may always be seen and played at Æolian Hall, and Catalogue R will be sent on request. $\text{st st st}$ The Orchestrelle Co., ÆOLIAN HALL, 135-6-7, NEW BOND STREET, LONDON, W. --- A·SADE RSON· &·SONS WALPAPER, MANUFACT: VRERS·LMP?
