Answer

The gramophone, invented in 1887, marked a significant milestone in the field of sound recording and reproduction. This innovative device utilized a recording stylus that etched sound waves onto a rotating cylinder covered in tin foil. These recorded sounds could then be replayed by moving the stylus over the grooves created on the cylinder, allowing Elgar to capture and preserve his acoustic recordings.
