This remark has recently been made on the "Scriabin" mailing-list.
Under the excuse that Harold Bauer was a prominent Duo-Art artist,
may I ask if anyone else here has heard of this ?

  "I think that Harold Bauer wrote that, when he played for Thomas
  Edison, Bauer's legatissimo drove Edison nuts.  He couldn't stand
  the sound made by the overlapping notes."

Did Edison commission private recitals or were they friends ?
