Excerpt from Sound and Its Relation to Music
Sound is always produced by the vibratory motion of particles of matter, either in a mass or as individuals.
Musical sound, or tone, is produced by regular and periodic vibrations, and non-musical sound by irregular vibrations; but the lines of demarkation between the two are not sharply drawn, and the musician may employ for special effects many kinds of sound usually Classified as noise.
Some medium is necessary for the transmission of the sound from its origin to the ear of the auditor. This medium is generally the air, in which the sound travels in waves, each consisting of the sum of a condensation and a rarefaction.
In this transmission, the air-particles also move in vibra tions, The sound-waves form a constantly enlarging sphere; and their motion is generally perceptible only to the sense of hearing.

Excerpt from Sound and Its Relation to Music
Every intelligent musician should be familiar with the physical laws which underlie his art. In the following pages will be found a compact statement of these laws and of the chief facts, theories and experiments in accordance with which they have been formulated. The nature and transmission of sound, its various elements and manifestations, the musical materials derived from it and the application of these materials in the construction of instruments are some of the matters discussed.
In order to facilitate further reading in regard to any of the subjects broached, references are given at the end of each chapter to correlative parts of important works on acoustics, of which a list is appended. Abstruse mathematical works like those of Airy or Lord Rayleigh are excluded. Books are referred to in individual chapters simply by the last names of their authors.
Scientists and musicians have been slow in cooperating, and at times have even antagonized each other. It is hoped that in the future mutual helpfulness will take the place of distrust, and that due allowance may be made by either party for slight points of divergence between mathematics and aesthetics. That the present book may aid toward this result is the earnest wish of its author.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Dive into the fascinating world of sound and music with this comprehensive guide. The author meticulously explores the physical origins of sound, from its generation by vibrating objects to its transmission through various media like air and water. Discover how scientists measure sound's velocity, pitch, and quality using ingenious instruments like tuning forks, sirens, and sonometers. Delve into the intriguing phenomena of sound reflection, refraction, and diffraction, which explain echoes, focusing effects, and sound shadows. The book also examines the physiological and psychological aspects of sound perception, including the limits of human hearing and the complexities of musical pitch. Through engaging experiments and accessible explanations, this book illuminates the scientific principles underlying the art of music, inviting readers to appreciate the intricate tapestry of sound that surrounds us.
