Digitized from a shellac record, at 78 revolutions per minute. Four stylii were used to transfer this record. They are 2.3 mil truncated conical, 2.8 mil truncated conical, 3.3 mil truncated conical, 3.5 mil truncated eliptical. These were recorded flat and then also equalized with Turnover: 500Hz, Rolloff: 1590Hz.

The preferred version suggested by an audio engineer at George Blood, L.P. is the equalized version recorded with the 3.3 mil truncated conical stylus, and has been copied to have the more friendly filename.

Matrix number: 1468-A

Notes

The recording on the other side of this disc was also digitized.

Subject: Etude No. 2 after Caprice No. 17

Etude No. 2 in E Flat from Franz Liszt's "Grandes Études de Paganini", based on violin compositions of Niccolo Paganini. The work as a whole was dedicated to the virtuosic pianist Clara Schumann, wife of composer Robert Schumann. Although Busoni is credited on the disc alongside Liszt, he was simply the editor of the edition used by the performer. This recording is of the world-renowned pianist Vladimir Horowitz. A recording with the score can be found online here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExGeBFNBaC4
