A note about the history behind these music tests. These are NOT the tests from Carl Seashore. They are also NOT the tests that were published by Carl Fischer. These were published by Kwalwasser-Dykema.
These are to test a person's music ability. Carl Seashore is the pioneer of early testing with Kwalwasser-Dykema right behind him.
The records were recorded in Camden N.J. and in New York. Sometime after they finshed, I do beleive late 1930 Carl Fischer took over publishing the tests.
The only copy like this one I could find is in Boston Public Library.
These were created during the transition period of the RCA buyout of Victor Talking Machine Co. in 1929. Thus the reason for every album having different name.
