series being made on phonographs of different manufacture. On 
comparing the transcriptions we find that the pitch of every song is 
the same in the record made in 1915 as in the record made in 1912

the tone values were precisely the same in the two series (cf. analysis

of the first four measures, after which the transcriptions of the two 
records are identical. Both transcriptions of No. 39 are given here-
