| Description |
Unbound. With a detailed explanation of the construction, in very technical terms, with references to the appended drawing: this device can be applied to all sorts of pianos. In a different hand at the end are comments which note the author as confessing that the device is not ideal for slow movements like Adagio or Andante and it is suitable only for pieces with a lively tempo. |
