Abstract
The object was to gauge the extent to which a musical composition evoked associations denoted by the title assigned to the composition, or some other series of associations. Phonograph records of 10 musical compositions were selected for the symbolic nature of their titles and the likelihood that the particular group of hearers would be unacquainted with them. Considerable difference is shown in the symbolic values of the records, and generally emphasizes the subjective character of symbolism.
