Synopsis
This book offers a historical and technical introduction to music, designed for those passionate about music but whose knowledge of it largely comes from practice rather than theory. The author takes the reader through the origins of music, from its earliest identifiable forms in ancient Greece up until the birth of modern tonality. This historical framework gives way to an examination of musical fundamentals such as the Pythagorean scale and the principles that govern harmony. Through these, the book explores the origins of our present musical system, which the author argues has its roots in both the natural properties of sound and the artistic innovations that arose in the Middle Ages. The book concludes with a thought-provoking look at how our understanding of music is constantly evolving and how the concepts and techniques of the past continue to inform the music of the present day.
