Aeolian Company Piano Rolls

*I think Christian Johansson find out some evidence that this session, or some of this session are from March. In his website, it says March, but not sure this session is all from March. Still Horowitz Website Says it is from June to September, which makes it more hard to know what is the true date. I will write a question mark at here.

*The date of this recording is in a big contribution. Since there is no definite document of this recording date, I will write as 1926-1927. Also there is some documents says this is from 1928, but it is unreliable. Horowitz Website by Bernie Horowitz, and horowitz.jp by Yoshioki Ishii  and Jun Kinoshita says it is from 1926, Classical pianists.net-Vladimir Horowitz Chronology I by Christian Johansson says it is from 1927.
