Musical Statics: An Attempt to Show the Bearing of the Facts of Acoustics on Chords, Discords, Transitions, Modulations and Tuning (1897)

Musical Statics is a book written by John Curwen in 1897 that attempts to explain the relationship between the principles of acoustics and various musical concepts such as chords, discords, transitions, modulations, and tuning. The book delves into the science behind sound waves and how they interact with each other to create different musical tones and harmonies. Curwen explores the physics of musical instruments and how they produce sound, as well as the mathematical principles behind musical intervals and scales. The book also discusses the history of tuning systems and how they have evolved over time. Overall, Musical Statics provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific principles that underlie music theory and composition.As Used By Modern Musicians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
