as the two boys make their way back to the dorm room, they hear the distant sound of music from a phonograph. how doe the author use personification in his description of the phonograph?

"The sky was darkening steadily, which brought up the lights in the dormitories and the old houses; a loud phonograph a long way off played Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree, rejected that and played They're Either Too Young or Too Old, grew more ambitious with The Warsaw Concerto, mellower with The Nutcracker Suite, and then stopped."

The words "played, rejected, grew amibitious" are all attributed to the phonogrpah itself; this is the personification of the phonograph.
