The infamous, much-maligned and faded recording of Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) at the piano in 1889. A cleaned-up version which enables you to actually hear the piano playing as best possible.

This is the (in)famous 1889 cylinder recording made of Brahms playing the piano. After a spoken introduction ("House von [of] Herr Doctor Fellinger, I have Doctor Brahms, Johannes Brahms"), Brahms plays an abbreviated form of his first Hungarian Dance.
