The Metrostyle is a book published in 1903 by the Aeolian Company, a renowned manufacturer of pianos and organs. The book is a comprehensive guide to the company's latest invention, the Metrostyle player piano. The Metrostyle player piano was a groundbreaking innovation in the world of music. It was the first player piano that allowed the user to control the tempo and volume of the music being played, as well as the ability to play music from a variety of sources, including sheet music, rolls, and even live performances. The Metrostyle was also the first player piano to feature a built-in amplifier, which allowed it to be heard in large concert halls and other venues. The book is divided into several sections, each of which provides a detailed overview of the various features and capabilities of the Metrostyle player piano. These sections include an introduction to the Metrostyle, a description of its mechanical components, an overview of the various types of music that can be played on the instrument, and a detailed guide to using the Metrostyle to create your own music. Throughout the book, the Aeolian Company emphasizes the versatility and flexibility of the Metrostyle player piano. They highlight the fact that it can be used by musicians of all skill levels, from amateur to professional, and that it can be customized to suit individual preferences and playing styles. Overall, The Metrostyle is a fascinating historical document that provides a glimpse into the world of music technology at the turn of the 20th century.
