Book Synopsis Physics of the Piano by : Nicholas J. Giordano
Download or read book Physics of the Piano written by Nicholas J. Giordano and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does a piano sound like a piano? A similar question can be asked of virtually all musical instruments. A particular note-such as middle C-can be produced by a piano, a violin, a clarinet, and many other instruments, yet it is easy for even a musically untrained listener to distinguish between these different instruments. A central quest in the study of musical instruments is to understand why the sound of the "same" note depends greatly on the instrument, and to elucidate which aspects of an instrument are most critical in producing the musical tones characteristic of the instrument. The primary goal of this book is to investigate these questions for the piano. The explanations in this book use a minimum of mathematics, and are intended for anyone who is interested in music and musical instruments. At the same time, there are many insights relating physics and the piano that will likely be interesting and perhaps surprising for many physicists.
Download or read book On Pitch written by Rick Baldassin and published by . This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this book is tuning theory and the integration of aural and electronic tuning techniques. All of the information presented will be analyzed from both aural and electronic perspectives, so that every technique used aurally will have an electronic equivalent, and every technique used electronically will have its aural test. The information is equally helpful for those who tune strictly by ear or exclusively with an electronic aid, and provides a firm understanding of the equivalent tests and procedures from both worlds for the growing number of tuners that use both their ears and an electronic aid.

Download or read book Temperament written by Stuart Isacoff and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few music lovers realize that the arrangement of notes on today’s pianos was once regarded as a crime against God and nature, or that such legendary thinkers as Pythagoras, Plato, da Vinci, Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Newton and Rousseau played a role in the controversy. Indeed, from the time of the Ancient Greeks through the eras of Renaissance scientists and Enlightenment philosophers, the relationship between the notes of the musical scale was seen as a key to the very nature of the universe. In this engaging and accessible account, Stuart Isacoff leads us through the battles over that scale, placing them in the context of quarrels in the worlds of art, philosophy, religion, politics and science. The contentious adoption of the modern tuning system known as equal temperament called into question beliefs that had lasted nearly two millenia–and also made possible the music of Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Debussy, and all who followed. Filled with original insights, fascinating anecdotes, and portraits of some of the greatest geniuses of all time, Temperament is that rare book that will delight the novice and expert alike.
