Excerpt from The Nature of Harmony

At first, the contributions to such a theory based on scientific investigation were few and far between it is only of late that the impulse given to scientific study in general has helped us forward considerably. The interest of practical musicians in the new science is still confined to the few, and has not yet become intense but this is hardly to be wondered at when we consider that it is only within the past twenty years that our scientific knowledge has become sufficient to make it possible to classify discovered facts into a well-rounded system, available for practical use. The more the new way of looking at harmonic relations is seen to be positively useful and practical, the more will interest in laying scientific foundations for the art of music become widespread and lively. In the following pages I shall briefly show what benefit the practical teaching of music has already derived from exact science, and how much it may still hope to' draw from such study in wholly new directions.
