"Street Piano Medley played by August Molinari. Edison record."

An unusual offering; Molinari's only Edison recording.
It would be fascinating to learn how this was arranged:
Were there three street pianos queued and ready to go?
Or a single street piano with the three songs spliced together on a single roll?
Either way, how was Molinari able to get the music to start so perfectly on cue and on tempo?
The recording co-stars Billy Murray – doing the voices of the piano-grinder and customer.
