A tap of the foot, a rush of emotion, the urge to hum a tune;
without instruction or training we all respond intuitively to
music. Comparing Notes explores what music is, why all of us are
musical, and how abstract patterns of sound that might not appear
to mean anything can, in fact, be so meaningful. Taking the reader
on a clear and compelling tour of major twentieth century musical
theories, Professor Adam Ockelford arrives at his own important
psychologically grounded theory of how music works. From pitch and
rhythm to dynamics and timbre, he shows how all the elements of
music cohere through the principle of imitation to create an
abstract narrative in sound that we instinctively grasp, whether
listening to Bach or the Beatles. Authoritative, engaging, and full
of wonderful examples from across the musical spectrum, Comparing
Notes is essential reading for anyone who's ever loved a song,
sonata, or symphony, and wondered why.
