Do any recordings exist of performances by the clarinetist Muhlfeld? Is there any recorded evidence, however primitive of his tone or vibrato?
Thanks!

There is no need to guess, still less to guess wrongly. The Brahms sonatas date from the 1890s. Muhlfeld died in 1907. Edison's work dates from the late nineteenth century.
It is therefore possible that recordings might have been made.
I would guess (!) however that, if they had survived, we would know of them.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.
To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.

I've never heard of any recordings of Muhlfeld, but the technology to make them was extant and the commercial potential of the medium was recognised in the last decade of the 19th century.
An Englishman named Fred Gaisberg was one of the pioneers in the field, recording some of the behemoths of the day for the fledgling Victor Gramophone Company.
