Publisher's Synopsis
The New York System Of Tangible Musical Notation: And Point Writing And Printing For The Use Of The Blind is a book written by William Bell Wait in 1873. The book focuses on a system of musical notation that is specifically designed for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The system uses a combination of raised dots and other tactile symbols to represent musical notes and rhythms, allowing blind musicians to read and write music. The book also includes information on point writing and printing, which is a system of tactile writing that uses raised dots to represent letters and words. This system is commonly used for braille, but the book explores other applications of point writing and printing, including its use in music notation. Overall, The New York System Of Tangible Musical Notation is an important historical document that sheds light on the efforts to make music accessible to all individuals, regardless of their visual abilities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
