The Pattison Waltz (1889)

Another of Edison's early music recordings; this one from 1889 (recorded 25 February). This is the ever-so-slightly silly "Pattison Waltz" (no text I can make out at all, just lots of la-ing and so on - but she mIght be singing words I guess) . The singer is Effie Stewart (a New York soprano of no particular fame) and the pianist is Theo Wangeman, one of Edison's technicians. Frankly, it sounds comical, to put it politely. Incidentally, Wangemann was the man who turned up in Vienna in December of the same year, and who recorded Brahms performing in the house of his friend, Dr Felinger, there.
