Context

Country: Unknown

Period: New
Canada: The compact disk represents the first major change in the basic method of recording audio on a disk since the original Berliner records pre-1900.
Function: Recording media upon which music was recorded for playback, in this case songs by Tchaikowsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 23; Bach-Siloti: Prelude No. 10.
Technical: In the compact disk system of recording, sound levels are converted to a series of binary codes on the disk in the shape of tiny pits. During playback, a laser beam focuses on the pits which reflect the laser light. Variations in the reflected light rays are then converted back into a continuous audio form.
