Publisher's Synopsis
The Student's Textbook Of The Science Of Music by John Taylor is a comprehensive guide to the fundamental principles of music theory. The book is designed to be a textbook for students of music and covers a wide range of topics, including the physics of sound, the properties of musical instruments, the principles of harmony, and the basics of musical notation.The book is divided into several sections, each covering a different aspect of music theory. The first section introduces the physics of sound and how it relates to music. This section covers topics such as frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, and explains how these properties affect the sound of musical instruments.The second section of the book covers the properties of musical instruments, including the different types of instruments and how they produce sound. This section also covers the principles of acoustics and how they relate to musical instruments.The third section of the book covers the principles of harmony, including the different types of chords and how they are used in music. This section also covers the basics of musical composition, including the use of melody, rhythm, and harmony.The final section of the book covers the basics of musical notation, including the different types of musical notation and how they are used in sheet music. This section also covers the basics of musical performance, including the different types of musical ensembles and how they perform together.Overall, The Student's Textbook Of The Science Of Music is an essential guide for anyone interested in learning the fundamental principles of music theory. Whether you are a student of music or simply a music lover, this book is an invaluable resource for understanding the science behind the music.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
