Oh yeah, there's this project to record previously unrecorded music from the 1890s to 1920s! 🎶
"Before the 1920s, the measure of a song's success was based on Sheet Music sales rather than Record sales. The recording industry was still in its infancy, and because so many Americans owned pianos it was more common for people to experience new songs by purchasing Sheet Music and playing through them themselves rather than purchasing a recording."
