Sound and Music: An Elementary Treatise on the Physical Constitution of Musical Sounds and Harmony (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sound and Music: An Elementary Treatise on the Physical Constitution of Musical Sounds and Harmony

The present edition is the result of a careful revision applied to its predecessor.

An unsatisfactory artificial hypothesis as to the motion of particles in the surface of water-waves, which was avowedly introduced into the first edition for the sake of simplicity, is replaced by a mode of treatment based upon observed facts.
