    Is the mom referring to a record player when she says “78 rpm?”

      Yes. The normal speed would be 33.33 rpm unless it was a 45 rpm single which is less likely for classical. So classical music played at 2.3x speed.

      Yes, different records are intended to be played at different speeds but you can select a higher number for a slower record to play it faster
