Description: "Progress in the physics of music, like progress in most scientific fields, comes from the curious interweaving of seemingly unrelated ideas illuminated by gleams of intuition and the creative use of chance discoveries. The stimulating interaction between the art and the science of music is...a lively exchange among experimental physicists, musicians, and instrument makers. It has already led to many new ideas and practical developments, some of which are explained in this Reader...."--From the Introduction
This book contains 8 articles from SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN concerned with the orderly relation between the physical properties of musical instruments and the sounds coming from them. It is designed for the general reader with interests in physics or music and as a supplementary reading for students of physics and music. The readings are tied together by a lively introduction that provides a valuable historical perspective and covers some of the more recent developments in this area. |
