Inhaltsangabe

This book investigates how the development of music has been intertwined with the evolution of the human ear and explores the reasons why music existed exclusively in the form of melody for nearly two millennia, up until the 9th century CE. The author examines the nature of the connection between speech and song, proposing that music arose as an extension of verbal communication. They posit that melody represents the original form of music, given the constraints of prehistoric instruments and the limitations of the human ear at the time. The text also analyzes the factors that contributed to the emergence of harmony, the use of multiple notes played simultaneously, in the 9th century. Through a comprehensive examination of ancient musical practices, instruments, and notation systems, the author unravels the historical evolution of music and the profound influence that the human ear has had on its development.
