Other CD Jackets of PIANO ROLL in Japan
The following discography is a list of all of Piano Roll recordings performed by Horowitz. The main information is Piano Roll number, along with the title of piano composition. Considering the reality that it is now difficult to find and listen to the original piano roll recordings, I also added the record number that was reproduced from the piano roll as supplemental information. Piano Roll recordings had not been reproduced by 78 or 45, rather we could find the reproduced editions released by LP and CD. Therefore, you could find only LP/CD number in relation to each Piano Roll.
The discography included the name of composers and the year of LP and CD release.
Here is the example;
CHOPIN （Composer）
Etude No.5 in Gb, Op.10-5 Black
Key （Title）
(1926) Roll-LP-CD, Roll-CD, Roll-CD
It indicated that Horowitz made the Piano Roll recording in 1926. It was commercially released for 3 times. The first edition was produced and released by both LP and CD. The second and third one were also released by CD, but given the different CD number.
Even sourced from the same Piano Roll recording, if it was reproduced under the different situation, such as the condition of reproducing piano and the level of expertise of technical engineers, all these definitely had the impact on the result of the audio quality and tempo. Therefore, I would rather identify as independent item.
(1:36) means the duration of the piano performance.
