| - Duo-Art era una de les tecnologies punta dels pianos reproductors de principis del segle xx, introduït el 1914 per Aeolian Company, com també ho foren American Piano Company (Ampico), introduït el 1911, i Welte-Mignon, ja des del 1905. Possiblement la tardança de la companyia Aeolian es va deure al fet que van experimentar amb intents fallits per crear un piano sincronitzat amb fonògrafs i, més tard, s'adonaren que els melòmans no volien ser passius i volien crear els seus propis enregistraments. Com va passar amb el cas d'Ampico, els rotlles de Duo-Art no enregistraven la dinàmica, de manera que era molt important la feina posterior feta pels editors musicals per obtenir enregistraments de gran fidelitat. Un dels treballadors que s'hi dedicaven fou el jove George Gershwin durant els anys 1916-1919. Aquest mecanisme, fabricat per Aeolian Company, fou comercialitzat per marques de piano com Weber, Steck, Stroud, Wheelock i Steinway. (ca)
- Duo-Art was one of the leading reproducing piano technologies of the early 20th century, the others being American Piano Company (Ampico), introduced in 1913 too, and Welte-Mignon in 1905. These technologies flourished at that time because of the poor quality of the early Phonograph (Gramophone in Britain). Between 1913 and 1925 a number of distinguished classical and popular pianists, such as Ignace Paderewski, Josef Hofmann, Percy Grainger, Teresa Carreño, Aurelio Giorni, Robert Armbruster and Vladimir Horowitz, recorded for Duo-Art, and their rolls are a legacy of 19th-century and early 20th-century aesthetic and musical practice. The recording process – using a piano wired to a perforating machine – was unable to capture the pianist's dynamics automatically. These were added by a recording technician, who manipulated hand controls to notate the dynamics onto the recording 'master'. Thus, post-recording editing was required to produce the finished performance – usually a joint effort by the recording technician and the pianist themself, who approved the final product. Thus, these recordings do represent the overall style of these great artists and are a good representation of their live performances. The Aeolian Company introduced the Duo-Art mechanism in 1913. It was most commonly installed in piano brands manufactured by Aeolian such as Weber, Steck, Wheelock, and Stroud. Most notably, it was also available in Steinway pianos under an exclusive agreement. Aeolian had been under pressure to make the mechanism available in Steinway pianos, but Steinway had no interest in pursuing a relationship with a company they saw as a competitor. To appease Steinway, Aeolian agreed to stop promoting its Weber brand as a premium brand, and stop sponsoring concerts by Paderewski and other pianists. The agreement also stipulated that Aeolian purchase a certain number of Steinway units each year, regardless of whether or not they could sell them. This contract eventually became a huge financial burden after the Wall Street Crash of 1929. In 1925, its peak year, Aeolian produced more than 190,000 instruments, but the crash, the electric phonograph and the "talkies" all combined to drive the business into a terminal decline. (en)
