listener does not see the instru-
ment. II the tune played by each

imparts to it's sound-waves.

the eye can do with the com

them. And the same thing hap
pens when the sounds OF all the
instruments Of an orchestra are
recorded by the phonograph.
The record has only one line,
but that line by it's form contains
the integrated impression Of the
resultant sound produced by all
the combined torres. and this is
recorded so faithfully that when
the record is mechanically turned
back into music the ear, can still
successfully exercise its marvellous
power of recognition.
