Det selvspillende pianoet - musikk uten sjel?

Selvspillende pianoer var enormt populære på begynnelsen av 1900-tallet. En periode 
i 1920-årene ble det produsert like mange selvspillende pianoer som vanlige pianoer. 
Instrumentene forsvant etter hvert som grammofonen og radioen ble mer utbredt.

Reklamen hevdet at selvspillende pianoer brakte levende musikk inn i hjemmene. 
Men instrumentene møtte også motstand fra musikere og komponister som mente 
at den mekaniske musikken var sjelløs, ettersom den bare produserte det samme 
om og om igjen uten variasjon.

Musikkstykkene ble programmert med hull i papirruller. Hullene åpnet for luftstrømmer 
som sørget for at tangentene ble trykket ned. Instrumentene ble spilt med tråpedaler.

The Player Piano - Soulless Music?

Player pianos enjoyed enormous popularity in the early 1900s. For a period of time in the 
1920s there were as many player pianos being produced as there were ordinary pianos. 
As gramophones and radios became more widespread, the player piano gradually vanished 
from the scene.

Advertisements claimed that player pianos brought live music into people's homes. 
However, these instruments met with opposition from musicians and composers, who felt 
that the mechanical music had no soul as it only produced the same sounds again and again, 
without variety.

The pieces were programmed by punching holes in paper rolls. Air flowed through 
the perforations, pushing the keys down. The instruments were played with foot pedals.
