Hard on the heels of my piece about Harold Bauer [190117 MMD] and the
searched-for and found de Sarasate quotes, a perceptive MMD reader
wrote by e-mail regarding my failure to include just whereat those
were to be found within "His Book."  

For any interested, the following is how I responded to this person's
timely, apt reminder:

  Greetings!  Thank you for writing, (. . .).  Yes, of course, as-per
  your request: the Duo-Art related material begins at page 175, and
  de Sarasate's at page 138.

  Also, if you might have access to a copy, a revealing discussion
  by Bauer in the form of an Aeolian Duo-Art ad from 1916, as to how
  he edited and improved his record-rolls -- "I am like the sculptor
  [before his clay]" -- may be found in a splendid paperback
  compilation put out some years ago, entitled "Through You I Live
  Forever / A Nostalgic Look At Reproducing Player Piano Advertising
  From 1906 To 1929", by Tom Beckett and Mark D. Zahm, 1977.  Copies
  are scarce but well-worth going to any trouble to find.  Perhaps
  I should scan those two pages and put them up on The MMD?

  Please, do keep reading and commenting?
  Again, thank you &, etc.

While reading through the on-line version, it struck me as to how
similar Bauer's book was to that of Arthur Rubinstein's two, all three
being as they were chock-full of bits of this and that opinionation,
revelation, and at times and places, spicy musical-and-otherwise
reportage.
