The Harmonics Of Aristoxenus (1902) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165312016)

The Harmonics of Aristoxenus is a book written by the ancient Greek philosopher and music theorist, Aristoxenus. Originally published in 1902, this book is a comprehensive treatise on the principles of music and the nature of harmonics. The work is divided into three parts, with the first part providing an introduction to the basic concepts of music theory, including the nature of sound, the structure of musical scales, and the principles of rhythm. The second part of the book delves deeper into the theory of harmonics, exploring the relationships between different notes and the mathematical principles that underlie them. Finally, the third part of the book presents a detailed analysis of Aristoxenus' own system of musical notation, which he developed as a way of representing the complex relationships between different notes and the harmonies they create. Throughout the book, Aristoxenus draws on his extensive knowledge of both music and philosophy to provide a rich and nuanced understanding of the nature of sound and the principles of musical composition. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of music theory or the philosophy of music.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
