<< To make a long story short, in the process of bringing all our records out
of storage, I found that I have a small collection of 78's.  These include: 1.
Rubinstein w/Toscanini and the NBC Symphony, playing Beethoven Concerto #3, 2.
Rubinstein playing Beethoven's Sonata #8 ,  3. Rubinstein playing Chopin
Scherzos.  4. There is also a collection of Chopin's 24 Preludes (opus 28)
played by Alfred Cortot, who is a name unfamiliar to me.  I don't know where I
got these, and frankly didn't know I owned them until today.
 
 I have no way to play these, but more importantly I'm wondering whether these
recordings have any historical significance today.

One additional thought.  I realize this is not a technical post, but my reason
for mentioning these recordings is because I thought it might provide an aural
snapshot of piano tone from yesteryear that we might find illuminating.  (I'm
NOT thinking money!)
