This book explores the fascinating and intimate relationship
between music and physics. Over millennia, the playing of, and
listening to music have stimulated creativity and curiosity in
people all around the globe. Beginning with the basics, the authors
first address the tonal systems of European-type music, comparing
them with those of other, distant cultures. They analyze the
physical principles of common musical instruments with emphasis on
sound creation and particularly charisma. Modern research on the
psychology of musical perception - the field known as
psychoacoustics - is also described. The sound of orchestras in
concert halls is discussed, and its psychoacoustic effects are
explained. Finally, the authors touch upon the role of music for
our mind and society. Throughout the book, interesting stories and
anecdotes give insights into the musical activities of physicists
and their interaction with composers and musicians.
