Here is Ampico recording 50047-H, Chopin Ballade, Op. 23, played
by Ferruccio Busoni, recorded under license to Ludwig Hupfeld.

The piano is a 1920 6'-4 Knabe with an older restoration of the early
Ampico A player.  Happily the recording only calls for Tempo 70 and
the beast will do that with the lever full to the right.
