On the Sensations of Tone
One of the world's great scientific classics, bridging the gap between the natural sciences and music theory and, more than a century after its first publication, still remaining a standard text for the study of physiological acoustics--the scientific basis of musical theory. It is a treasury of knowledge for musicians and students of music and a major work in the realm of aesthetics, making important contributions to physics, anatomy, and physiology in its establishment of the physical theory of music. Difficult scientific concepts are explained simply and easily for the general reader.
