Why did Pythagoras pause outside a Blacksmiths workshop? Can the nature of Harmony really be understood visually? Why do harmonies leave gaps or commas when added together? In this charming pocket book Anthony Ashton uses a Victorian device called a Harmonograph to tell the story of Harmony and the intervals in the scale. With useful appendices and exquisite line drawings this is a unique and original introduction to this magical subject. WOODEN BOOKS US EDITIONS. Small books, BIG ideas.
