Copland never performed other people's piano music in public, but he was an excellent player of his own music. His 1935 78s of his own spiky, wonderful Piano Variations have never been surpassed. This CD collects most of Copland's prewar 78s, adds a piano transcription of Appalachian Spring (well played by someone, but the provenance seems dubious), and concludes with Leonard Bernstein's first recording. As a program it's a bit scattered, but the individual items are important. Some of the dubs are noisy, but the sound is good enough throughout so that we can enjoy a major document of American music. --Leslie Gerber
