Leon Scott's COMPLETE DISCOGRAPHY 1853 - 1860

The complete audible discography of Edouard Leon Scott de Martinville, the world's first recording artist, and French inventor of the Phonautograph. Although it's believed Scott made hundreds of recording experiments, only 50 survive today, and of those, the following have been educed for listening. Pictures of most of these accompany the sounds you will hear. Special thanks to the researchers at FirstSounds.Org for the sounds and images and their great research !
0:00 Notes played on guitar by Adolphe Giacomelli (1853 or 1854)
Plays 2 times !
0:06 First ever voice recording captured from the air (1853 or 1854)

The above two recordings are Scott's first experiments, a proof of concept made before his device was completely built.
0:11 Phonautography of the voice at a distance (March 1857)
0:17 Song of the voice, changes in tone (July 1857)
1:25 Song at a distance ("The Echoes") (August 17, 1857)

3:26 The Lord's Prayer (October 1857)
3:50 Study of the Timber of the Voice (November 1857)
4:20 The Timber of the Cornet (December 1857)
All the above recordings were made with no timecode listed by Scott, so we can only guess at a proper playback speed. All are believed to feature the voice of Leon Scott except the 1853 guitar solo, the "Song at a Distance", with a possible young girl guest vocalist, and "The Timber of the Cornet" with an unidentified cornet performer.
4:32 Tuning Fork Vibrating at 435 Hz (Late 1859)
At This point, Scott was using a tuning fork timecode for his recordings, so proper intelligble playback is possible.
4:39 Au Clair de la Lune (at 2 speeds, in 2 different takes.) (April 9 & 20, 1860)
5:11 Shakespeare : Othello excerp (2 takes) (April 17 & 18 1860)
