Exploring Music : The Science and Technology of Tones and Tunes

"The book is intended to be read for enjoyment, rather than as a text, and I can recommend it warmly to anyone with an interest in the physical background to music. It would also be suitable as background reading for high school courses in physics and music (supplemented by some more quantitative treatment) or for conservatorium courses in musical acoustics." N Fletcher, The Australian and New Zealand Physicist "Charles Taylor is a natural communicator of scientific ideas...I recommend the book strongly." R C Thompson. "Taylor has written a charming book on the connections between physics and music, presented with a distinctive British flavour and perspective."
