A story I read several years ago about the late Norman Lindsay (Oz painter/writer/sculptor/model-maker/etc) said that he had a pianola at his home in Springwood, in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. On one occasion he gave a 'recital' of Beethoven's Apassionata Sonata, compltete with annotated comments, to Nellie Melba when she was visiting.

Would have been a wonderful occasion to have been a fly on the wall.
