No, it's a piano roll (recorded in 1913

[@wolfgangamadeusmozart6852]

A piano roll doesn't voice like this recording does, so it clearly is someone playing. It is fake obviously

[@andrewbarrett1537]

Sir, you clearly have not heard a reproducing piano roll played on an instrument put in top condition the way the original designers of the instrument intended. Too often the instrument gives a rather poor account of itself, with wrong or barely functioning dynamics (to say nothing of the condition of the piano itself!). Being friends with some great player piano restorers, as well as prominent collectors in groups like AMICA - Automatic Musical Instrument Collectors' Association (which is the preeminent USA player piano group- started with a focus on the reproducing piano), I have had the priviledge of hearing some really fine restored reproducing pianos in person, and there is simply nothing like it, hearing something built so long ago playing with such startling dynamic realism and clarity today (when playing PROPERLY). The Welte-Mignon roll heard in this video is an excellent example of this. It is really sad that so many reproducing pianos have been junked or gutted by now (and unfortunately it still happens) since again I feel they are kind of magical instruments, also with more romance for the old pneumatic ones than for the modern electronic ones (although they also have their place). For this piano to be sounding so good, and the player action responding to the roll so perfectly that you cry "FAKE" and then claim it's not a roll (as though some other recent person were playing this), is, for me, a major win in terms of this hobby and passion. This means that the folks who put together this recording did an excellent job, and somewhere, Edwin Welte and Karl Bockisch (and hopefully, Debussy) are smiling.
