| Abstract | Adelbert Theodor Edward Wangemann was born in Berlin in 1855 and immigrated to the United States in 1879. He was hired by Thomas Edison in 1888 "to develop musical recording techniques and oversee the production of wax recording cylinders at Edison's laboratory" in West Orange, New Jersey. Wangemann undertook a tour of Germany, Austria, Prussia, and France during 1889 and 1890, during which he recorded Otto von Bismarck, Helmuth von Molke, and several significant musical performances. |
