Primer should have two objects :the first, to describe, with as little technical complication as possible, the chief outlines of the subject treated ;the second, to furnish references for more advanced study. In fulfilment of the latter requisite footnotes have been appended to the text, and a list of standard works thus referred to is added by way of appendix. W. H. S. London, February,

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between science and music, tracing the discovery of common principles in both disciplines, from the time of Pythagoras to the present day. The author explains how a sound wave is structured, and how its amplitude and wavelength relate to the loudness and pitch of sound. The book discusses different methods of producing sound, from the vibration of strings and air columns to the use of reeds and membranes, and delves into the science behind musical instruments such as the violin, piano, and organ. The author also examines how sound travels and how it is reflected and refracted, and how these effects can be exploited to create musical effects such as echoes and harmonics. By examining the scientific principles that underlie music, the book provides a deeper understanding of the art form and its ability to evoke emotions and create beauty.
