This foundational text is written for students who want to go
beyond the perceptual stage of music to learn how musical sound is
created and perceived. It surveys a wide range of topics related to
acoustics, beginning with a brief history of the art and science of
music. Succeeding chapters explore the general principles of sound,
musical scales, the primary ways in which sound can be generated,
the characteristics of instruments, the use of mechanical and
electronic recording devices, hi-fi stereophonic and quadraphonic
sound, the design of electronic musical instruments, and
architectural acoustics.
Comprehensive yet accessible," Physics and Music" includes over 300
diagrams, photographs, and tables. Each chapter concludes with
questions, problems, and projects, in addition to references for
further study. 1980 edition.
