1-0 out of 5 stars Estafa
La edición que Amazon vende de este libro es lo que vulgarmente se denomina una estafa o un timo. Jurídicamente no me corresponde a mí calificarlo. Cuando se compra este libro en la web de Amazon, lo que el comprador recibe no es lo que Amazon muestra en su página web bajo el rótulo "Hier klicken Blick ins Buch!".Lo que el comprador recibe el es resultado, sin revisar ni formatear y, naturalmente, sin imágenes, de haber realizado un proceso de OCR a una imagen digitalizada del libro original. Para más inri, el vómito de OCR encuadernado que edita General Booksno llega más que hasta el capítulo 5, mientras que el libro que Amazon presenta en su página web tiene, según su índice, 19 capítulos más 20 apéndices. General Books ofrece la posibilidad de obtener, vía correo electrónico y a través de su página web, una copia del libro digitalizado en formato pdf. ... Read more

Product Description

The foundational work in physiological acoustics and the greatest single contribution to the psychology of audition. Helmholtz's description of the anatomy and physiology of the auditory system, his analysis of the nature of acoustic events, and his resonance theory of hearing paved the way for all later work in this field.

4-0 out of 5 stars Amazing Talent from a bygone age.
Fabulous book -- I really wish someone at Amazon would watch -- I got two books, and only ordered one - This is the second time this has happened

5-0 out of 5 stars Thorough, leisurely study of the principles of musical harmony and scales
Part 1 discusses how tones may be perceived as built up by the base tone and the "harmonic upper partial tones". These upper partial tones are what distinguishes different instruments and they determine the "quality of the tone"; e.g. "if only the unevenly numbered partials are present ... the quality of the tone is hollow, and, when a large number of such upper partials are present, nasal", etc. (p. 119). Helmholtz's model of the ear has it that there is a spectrum of hairs in the ear, each with its own mode of vibration. When we hear a tone it is decomposed into its partials through "sympathetic resonance" of the corresponding hairs, and it is this information--i.e. essentially Fourier coefficients--that is sent to the brain.

Part 2 discusses the theory of consonance. Again, the Fourier analysis point of view is the key. The consonance or dissonance of two tones is determined by the interaction of the partials of the tones, giving mathematical precision to the idea that "two consonant tones flow on quietly side by side in an undisturbed stream; dissonant tones cut one another up into separate pulses of tone" (p. 226). Thus one can claim that "ultimately, then, the reason of the rational numerical relations of Pythagoras is to be found in the theorem of Fourier, and in one sense this theorem may be considered as the prime source of the theory of harmony" and so "the enigma which, about 2500 years ago, Pythagoras proposed to science ... 'Why is consonance determined by the ratios of small whole numbers?' has been solved by the discovery that the ear resolves all complex sounds into pendular oscillations ... and that it regards as harmonious only such excitement of the nerves as continue without disturbance" (p. 229).

Part 3 studies scales; quoting from the conclusion: "the construction of scales ... is a product of artistic invention, and by no means furnished by the natural formation or the natural function of our ear, as it has been hitherto most generally asserted. Of course the laws of the natural function of our ear play a great and influential part in this result; these laws are, as it were, the building stones with which the edifice of our musical system has been erected, and the necessity of accurately understanding the nature of these materials in order to understand the construction of the edifice itself, has been clearly shewn by the course of our investigations upon this very subject. But just as people with differently directed tastes can erect extremely different kinds of buildings with the same stones, so also the history of music shews us that the same properties of the human ear could serve as the foundation of very different musical systems." (p. 366).

5-0 out of 5 stars Good, but very old; read Jeans instead (or something modern)
This book is of historical interest only, I think; it's very well written, but a lot of its content is mind bogglingly outdated, ancient. If you need a readable quick intro into sound, read Jeans's book (the first part of it is updated Helmholtz). Then, if you still need to (as in "know specifically what I'm after and it can be found only in Helmholtz"), you can pick this book; but otherwise, resorting to modern literature will be a much better investment of your time.

5-0 out of 5 stars Misprints.
I found two misprints:

Page 412, last equation on that page, x_2 = -b/(2a). ... : On the right-hand side, there are five terms. Terms number 2 to 5 have to be multiplied by b. In term number 3, replace u^2 by v^2.

Page 417, second of the two equations, r_p = 16 B' B" . ... : The second of the two brackets in the denominator must be squared.

These two misprints occur also in the German original, possibly since 1863.

5-0 out of 5 stars I concur.
This is worthwhile for the reasons already cited (so I need not rehearse them), but it is important to recognize that much of it has been superceded or disproved. I hope those prospective purchasers who have found their way here are aware of Juan Roederer's THE PHYSICS AND PSYCHOPHISICS OF MUSIC--very much recommended! ... Read more
