Excerpt from Harmony on the Inductive Method, Vol. 1

The theory of harmony is the province of the acoustician, not of the musician. It is often asserted that music has gained largely by the labors of the acousticians; but this is not so evident, when we remember that all the best music was written before the science of acoustics was born. The instinct of genius discovered, after many trials and mistakes, what combinations and successions of sound were agreeable and expressive, without asking or caring why. And the science of sound has made but little advance in explaining this why; and has not added one chord or progression that was not known to Bach.
