Produktbeschreibung

Mathematical foundations of intervals and chords combined with sound examples embedded in the CD-ROM-based multimedia version connect aural experience with the construction principles of four different historically significant temperaments. European Academic SoftwareAward 1996Preface What you are now reading is the written version of an electronic document that explains the mathematical principles for different musical temperaments. The electronic version contains many music examples that you can listen to while you are working with this document at a computer. The written version obviously cannot offer this possibility. It serves therefore merely as a parallel study aid and guide and cannot replace actually working with the electronic text.

The number of repetitions of beats per second is measured in Hertz: 440 Hertz mean 440 beats per second. This number is also called the frequency of a beat.
