This book is about music. the instruments and players who produce
it. and the technologies that support it. Although much modern
music is produced by electronic means. its underlying basis is
still traditional acoustical sound production. and that broad topic
provides the basis for this book. There are many fine books
available that treat musical acoustics largely from the physical
point of view. The approach taken here is to present only the
fundamentals of musical physics. while giving special emphasis to
the relation between instrument and player and stressing the
characteristics of instruments that are of special concern to
engineers and technicians in volved in the fields of recording.
sound reinforcement. and broadcasting. In order to understand
musical instruments in their normal performance environments. the
student must have a basic working knowledge of physical and
architectural acoustics. The book begins with a review of the
elements of acoustics. stressing the nature of sound fields and
phenomena that are wavelength-dependent. The book then moves on to
a discussion of those aspects of psychological acoustics that are
of special concern to music technicians. most notably concepts of
stereophonic imaging. loudness-related phenomena. and critical band
theory."
