This article focuses on several music performances on piano. On Columbia's November list is a set of all twenty-four of Chopin's Preludes played by Egon Petri, which does not satisfy the need of a good recording of these pieces. Petri's conceptions--if not the best, and if not without details, would question--are competent and acceptable. But the execution of these conceptions, as it comes off the records, is extremely defective; and it is difficult to tell whether the cause is wholly or only partly the faulty recording. The unbalanced recording of the sound of the piano--with the middle and lower range heavily outweighing the upper range-causes the melody in the right hand to be too weak and at times completely inaudible.
