Synopsis
Excerpt from Hyperacoustics
It will be generally admitted that the phenomena of Tonality show certain determinate characteristics which persist in all the varied works of music.
It may be a matter of opinion as to whether this "determinance" is real or apparent, and whether it is amenable to scientific treament.
The only way to decide the question is to write a book about it and ask the public to judge.
The first division of the subject, "Simultaneous Tonality," was published in 1916; we now wish to examine the Successive aspect.
It is a difficult and controversial matter to attempt to separate the transient from the enduring factors of modem musical practice, hence the scope of the discussion has to be limited to fairly well-established cases.
Our aim is to sweep over the works of music somewhat as the astronomer scans the sky with his telescope, and as he does not interfere with the feelings evoked by the glories of the heavens, and cannot alter the working of the subject he studies, so our scientific scrutiny, and the methods adopted for its expression, has no concern whatever with music as an art.
It does not aim at any aesthetic views, and it is hoped that the reader will close this book only with an increased desire to become more familiar with the great works of the art.
The book does not teach harmony or technique, plenty of works and teachers abound for that purpose. It attempts a purely scientific scrutiny, avoiding as far as possible the detached dryness of a more rigidly logical treatment.
In order to avoid disappointment it is necessary to limit expectations (which are possibly awakened by works of a similar character) as to prediction, and increased facilities in the art.

Hyperacoustics, Vol. 2: Successive Tonality (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book brings together musical theory and the science of acoustics in order to better understand tonality as it manifests both simultaneously and successively in musical practice. The author's approach bridges the gap between abstract acoustic conditions and the way music is experienced and produced in the real world, examining principles that can be applied to music across all historical periods and styles. Divided into three parts, this foundational volume opens by clarifying basic terminology, and progresses through detailed discussion of both simultaneous and successive tonality. Drawing from a wide range of examples and presenting a new way of thinking about the subject, this book is essential reading for any musician or musicologist seeking to deepen their understanding of the theoretical intricacies of music and tonality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330145302_0
