Summary

Description
English: An excerpt from the song “Au clair de la lune”, originally recorded as a phonautogram on paper. As of May 2009, this is believed to be the oldest recognizable recording of a human voice in existence. According to the remasterers, the lyrics sung are the first lines of the second stanza "Au clair de la lune, Pierrot répondit" (Under the moonlight, Pierrot replied).[1] It has also been reported that the recording contains the beginning of the song, "Au clair de la lune, mon ami Pierrot..." (Under the moonlight, my friend Pierrot...).[2]
Deutsch: Ausschnitt aus dem Lied “Au clair de la lune”, ursprünglich als Phonautogramm auf Papier aufgezeichnet. Per 2008 gilt diese Aufzeichnung als die älteste bekannte Tonaufnahme. Die gesungenen Worte lauten: "Au clair de la lune, Pierrot répondit" (Bei des Mondes Scheine, antwortet Pierrot), oder "Au clair de la lune, mon ami Pierrot..." (Bei des Mondes Scheine, mein Freund Pierrot...).
Français : Un extrait de la chanson “Au clair de la lune”, telle qu'enregistrée sur papier sous forme de phonautogramme.

D'après les restaurateurs, les paroles correspondent aux premières lignes de la seconde strophe : « Au clair de la lune, Pierrot répondit ».[3] D'autres estiment qu'il s'agit plutôt du début de la chanson : « Au clair de la lune, mon ami Pierrot ».[4]
