The Theory of Sound in its Relation to Music

Abstract

OF the many valuable works which have appeared in the International Scientific Series, none deal with a better subject than that of Prof. Blaserna. “The student of physics,” he says truly in his Preface, “does not go much into the study of musical arguments, and our artists do not sufficiently understand the very important bearing that the laws of sound have upon many musical questions.”

The Theory of Sound in its Relation to Music.

By Prof. Pietro Blaserna, of the Royal University of Rome. With Numerous Woodcuts. International Scientific Series. (London: Henry S. King & Co., 1876.)
