Are you interested in serious piano music on early discs?
Louise and Jeanne Douste recorded for English Berliner in April 1899.
Brian Rust cites their discs in The Talking Machine Review (nos. 63-64,
autumn 1981, page 1736.) If you are not familiar with these sisters and their
work, check google.

I'm a disc collector. I have a few cylinders but no machine to play them
on. Not an area I have put much time or energy into exploring.
So I'm wondering if there was much serious piano music recorded, or any,
on cylinder. I have never come across references to any. What I am aware
of are experimental recordings, like those by Hofmann, Albeniz, and a
few others. Nothing commercially recorded that may compare to those by
the same pioneers who made quite a few acoustical discs recordings. Like
Pachmann, Paderewski, or Cortot.
Or have I just missed them?
