About the Recordings

Wherever possible, we have provided links to period recordings, so that you can hear the music as it was performed by early twentieth century artists.

Period recordings are not available for all of the pieces. An Innovation Grant from the Washington University Libraries funded a live recital of music from the Exposition in November 2016. These performances by student and local musicians were recorded for this exhibit. Washington University makes these recordings available to the public under the terms of the Creative Commons BY-NC 4.0 license

Please do not distribute them without crediting this exhibit and the performers.
