Deutsch: Vorsetzer (oder Push-up Player)[1][2] ist ein Automat, der anstelle eines menschlichen Pianisten die Tasten-Betätigung eines Klaviers oder Flügels übernimmt. Das automatisierte Spiel wird durch kreisförmigen Notenblättern (Ariston-Platte usw.) oder Notenrollen gesteuert, wobei die darauf gestanzten Löcher mit taktilen Fingern abgetastet oder mittels Unterdruck transportiert und in Bewegungen der Tastenstifte umgesetzt werden.  Bekannte Hersteller solcher Vorsetzer waren die Ludwig Hupfeld, A.G. und M. Welte & Söhne in Deutschland sowie die Aeolian Company und American Piano Company in den USA.
English: Vorsetzer (or push-up player)[1][2] is a machine, which takes over the key operation of an acoustic piano instead of a human pianist. The automated play is controlled by Ariston plate or piano rolls where the punched holes on these are sensed by tactile fingers or transported by means of vacuum, and converted into movements of the key sticks.  Well-known manufacturers of such Vorsetzer were the Ludwig Hupfeld, A.G. and M. Welte & Söhne in Germany, Aeolian Company and American Piano Company in the United States.
