LA FISICA DELLA MUSICA
ELISA BENSA, G. Zanarini · Nuncius · 1999
Abstract title SUMMARY /title The scientific revolution of XVII century concerned also the domain of music theory, deeply investigating the nature of musical sounds and the physics of their production. Also the classical explanations of musical consonance were questioned, looking for its hidden causes through physics experiments and mathematical models. The passionating history of musical acoustics from Galileo to the end of XVIII century is revisited, with a particular emphasis on consonance theories.
