Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-94) was a leading scientist who made
important contributions to physiology, psychology, physics,
philosophy and early neuroscience. Following his foundational work
in ophthalmics during the 1850s, he became Professor of Physiology
at Heidelberg and, in 1863, published On the Sensations of Tone.
This investigation into the physical theory of music remains a
central text for the study of physiological acoustics and
aesthetics. In it, Helmholtz applies physics, anatomy and
physiology. He explains how tones are built from a base tone with
upper partial tones, and his later discussions on consonance and
musical scales develop this theory and discuss how the ear
perceives these tones. His work on consonance and dissonance was of
particular interest to composers and musicologists well into the
twentieth century. This English translation, published in 1875 from
the third German edition, retains the original's straightforward
language, making this classic work accessible to non-specialists.
