Workshop Duration approx. 1.5–2 hours
Mozart died almost 260 years ago. For more than 120 years, people have been recording his music in order to preserve it for posterity. This History Lab is an opportunity to explore historical media such as shellac records, wax cylinders and perforated rolls in the Mozart Audio-Visual Collection, to learn more about them, how the earliest recordings were preserved, and how it is done today. The ultimate question is: how would you record music today so that it can still be heard in 120 years?
