Excerpt from The Nature of Harmony
At first, the contributions to such a theory based on scientific investigation were few and far between it is only of late that the impulse given to scientific study in general has helped us forward considerably. The interest of practical musicians in the new science is still confined to the few, and has not yet become intense but this is hardly to be wondered at when we consider that it is only within the past twenty years that our scientific knowledge has become sufficient to make it possible to classify discovered facts into a well-rounded system, available for practical use. The more the new way of looking at harmonic relations is seen to be positively useful and practical, the more will interest in laying scientific foundations for the art of music become widespread and lively. In the following pages I shall briefly show what benefit the practical teaching of music has already derived from exact science, and how much it may still hope to' draw from such study in wholly new directions.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating evolution of music theory, tracing the understanding of harmony from ancient mathematical ratios to the psychological perception of tone relationships. The author explores the historical contributions of key figures like Zarlino, Rameau, and Hauptmann, highlighting their groundbreaking discoveries and the impact of their ideas on the development of musical thought. The journey begins with the early exploration of musical intervals and their mathematical foundations, revealing how these ratios influenced the perception of consonance and dissonance. The book then delves into the concept of overtones and undertones, shedding light on how these acoustic phenomena shaped the understanding of chords and their inversions. As the narrative unfolds, the author delves into the psychological aspects of music perception, emphasizing the role of mental representations in comprehending tones and chords. The book explores the dualistic nature of harmony, contrasting the major and minor chords as polar opposites with distinct characteristics. By examining the historical progression of music theory and the interplay between acoustics, physiology, and psychology, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles that underpin harmony. It reveals how music theory has evolved from a purely mathematical discipline to one that encompasses the complexities of human perception and cognition.
